Would you take a bullet to the kneecap for $10 million USD?

BrianNole09 · Feb 21, 2016

Here's the deal:

We go outside your favorite hospital and you lie on the pavement. I shoot you in the kneecap with a .22 caliber pistol then wheel you into the Emergency Room. You then get $10 million USD cash money, tax free.

Would you take that deal?

Yeah, this is a no brainer.

In the scenario you laid out, I'd let you shoot me twice in each kneecap for $10M.

Really?

It would hurt like a mofo. You could have a limp for life. Or die from shock. Or have recurring nightmares and pain forever.

You said .22 not 50 cal.

Not sure if a .22 would bounce off or go in.

It would still hurt...like a mofo.

Who cares if it hurts. It is 10 million dollars. It happens outside a hospital you are main lining morphine in minutes. Family is set for life regardless of damage.

Who wouldn't do it?

In a heartbeat..........and that's even if I already wasn't a cripple.

And where did you get that stat? You are wayyyyy off on that one.

BrianNole09 · Feb 21, 2016

Do you guys know how the kneecap works?

You wouldn't walk right again...most likely. Forever.

No, I'm not. One artery feeds blood to your lower leg through the knee. That artery would be destroyed.

Add to the fact that joints are extremely difficult to repair in surgery.

And I got the 90% from my roommate, who is a surgeon.

Seminiferous · Feb 21, 2016

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and opine that a surgeon knows more about bullet wounds than a garden variety poster.

Why would a surgeon need a roommate? You both med students or something?

Just curious.

BrianNole09 · Feb 21, 2016

Man, talk about buyer's remorse!

You guys would be all excited over that $10 mill but then you'd have some serious regret after your leg was missing for life.....

Ophthalmologist sounds like a good gig. I just saw mine last week. I don't see how it can be THAT difficult, but I am just assuming stuff. I don't know how big the risk of getting sued is for them.

My Uncle is a brain surgeon. I have no idea how someone can do that on a daily basis. Talk about the risk of screwing up, LOL.

I don't walk right now, might as well have the cash to go with it.

Depends on the hospital.

Even if you added 'amputation' as apart of the deal, I'd still do it in a heartbeat and wouldn't think twice.

Nope. Even if I didn't think I would make that much on my own over the course of my life (and I'm sure I will), no permanent injury or even just the chance of it is worth any amount of money. I'd rather be a poor man with a healthy body than a rich man and be severely debilitated. I'm sure if you asked any of the crippled up ex-NFLers they'd tell you the same.

If you're healthy, you can always make more money. And even if you couldn't, I'd rather be a hipster beggar able to travel the world than a wealthy individual stuck at home. Life is for living not accumulation of money. If you can live and earn do that, if you can only do one then live.

Fijimn · Feb 22, 2016

Nope. I've seen someone get shot and live. No thank you.

You must have an extremely low tolerance for pain.

Because a bullet to the knee wouldn't be agonizing for you? Haha.

I love the LR.

Well, that's not true. Most crippled up ex-NFLers would play football again knowing the injuries and the result.

That .22 might go in your knee and come out your nut bag. Those bullets play pinball!
