I should have learned to duck for cover when someone points a gun in my general direction. If, I would have jumped on the ground. I would not have received a bullet in my head. It has been a long time since it happened, but the injury still affects me today. I still walk with a limp and my left arm doesn’t function right. The brain controls every aspect of the human body. Such as, if you get shot on the left side of the head. You can get short-term memory issues because the temporal lobes control memory. The frontal lobe controls organization, planning, and monitoring those plans. Partial lobe controls aspects such as pain, touch, or sensory information. The occipital lobe controls the eyes. The brain stem is the most important part of the brain because it controls heart rate, breathing, blood pressure regulation, digestion, pupil dialation, or constriction. I got shot in the temporal/frontal lobe and the bullet hit my occipital lobe, which is why I wear glasses. Half the bullet is still in my head, which sucks because it has brain tissue around it now.

So, everyone who reads this has to know. The brain is the most important organ in the body so protect it. If you are ever in a situation where you are going to get shot with a gun. Put your arm up because being shot in the arm is a lot better than getting shot in the head. The arm will heal better. Being shot in the head won’t heal as well because neurons are hard for the body to heal again. Just, if you get shot in your body, remember getting to medical attention is a must. It is a life or death matter. So the sooner a medical staff can see you the better. The better results you will have. Thank you for reading.
