Damn--I'm not just a dentist, I'm a Mall Ninja Dentist.

I would hate to try to intubate a guy like that...

Have no fear of that. The jaw and tongue are what get in the way, and when they've been "mobilized" like that the laryngeal inlet is a lot easier to visualize.

One of our students is one of the handlers who works in the pit at the Sweetwater Rattlesnake roundup.

Huh. Good to know. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully not a situation I have to deal the next time my attending has me tube someone...

Here is an account of a 2014 attack in the Kodiak area. The victim was a friend of a friend.

His "buddy?" That kind of "buddy" probably asked him to smile!

I didn't look at the pictures BEFORE I posted! Holy crap - the poor guy has no face and I'm making jokes about smiling. Look first, 11B10!

Oh 2014. Time flies. Last year was a lot more quiet re incidents like this up there. 2014 had several IIRC. One being the Mil dependent jogging on or near JBER (former Ft Richardson).

I'd put whatever gun I had under my chin and go to Valhalla
F*** that! That's intense!

The actual qualified medical types have already commented, but this isn't the first time I've seen photos of someone with their face torn off. It looks horrifying, but evidently isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Just don't hand the guy a mirror....

Those plastic surgeons who can fix this stuff and make it workable are amazing to me. My hat is off to them.
