Default Real Cost
In article , says...

For a patient with a gunshot wound, a single surgery followed by two
days in the intensive care unit runs about $100,000, she said.

That's because bullets are very good at what they're designed to do:
cause massive injury to the human body, said Christopher Colwell, the
director of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Denver Health
Medical Center.

Did you ask the Christopher Colwell if he would rather be shot with a gun or stabed with a
knive?
