Gunshot wounds occur when a bullet or projectile penetrates the body, causing injury to tissues and organs. The severity of the wound depends on factors such as the type of firearm, distance from which it was fired, and the location of the injury. Common effects include bleeding, tissue damage, and potential infection. Treatment for gunshot wounds often requires immediate medical attention. This may involve surgery to repair damaged organs, control bleeding, and prevent infection. Rehabilitation may also be necessary to help individuals recover and regain function, depending on the extent of the injuries sustained.
