I wouldn't know what being shot sounds like, but it seems like it wouldn't be the most painful and devastating thing ever that would most likely result in death. However When Tim O'Brien speaks of his first time being shot it makes it seem ugly and hurtful yet definitely survivable. The thought of actually being shot is far more worse then the literal feeling of it all. Its a mind set that everyone most likely has, I mean who would think that being shot is like no big deal, besides 50 cent. Its something that isn't on every ones top ten must experience list but I'm sure when it does happen, its entirely life altering.
The first time it happened everything was all well and their medic at the time, Rat Kiley did a great job with helping O'Brien. However the next time he was shot there was a new medic who didn't necessarily know what he was doing. This caused extreme damage to O'Brien who held a grudge against him for a very long time. I think the extent of his anger was a bit much, and the whole prank that was pulled on Jorgenson was completly un called for. In a way im glad that he started to feel guilty a little bit through the prank, and still after all of it the managed to call it even.
