Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remains in intensive care following surgery at the University of Arizona Hospital for a gunshot wound to the head at close range. Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of FoxNews.com, said surviving a gunshot wound to the head is rare, but not unheard of – and Giffords is in for a long fight.
Alvarez said the survival rate of a gunshot wound to the head is about 5 percent – and 3 percent of those who do survive will always have a neurological deficiency, such as memory loss or a lack or motor skills.
“It all depends on where the bullet goes,” he said. “Your best chance of survival is from front to back, if you get shot side to side, the survival rate is less, and it all depends on the damage the brain has.”
In other news, Fox News is reporting that the Village of Campton Hills used valuable time in defining the word "Family". Outraged by this obvious lack of judgment, candidate for Village President Kristin Leblank is quoted on her web site
"What was so pressing in VCH that they felt they needed to define a "family". Who were they targeting with this one. Used up valuable planning commission time on several occasions to get this one done. WHY?"
A call to Ms. Leblank went unreturned. Our investigative reporters did contact the officials at Kane County Illinois and were informed that the VCH's definition of "Family" was copied directly from the Kane County Ordinances. Apparently it is some type of legal mumbo-jumbo. Sources within several local governments have also confirmed that most local governments in Kane County have adopted this very same definition. Undaunted, Fox News' own Geraldo Rivera has been sent to Kane County Illinois to further investigate. Film Report at 11:00.
