Desperate Situation in Iran: Gunshots to the Faces and Chests of Protesters – Neurosurgeon Warns of Neurological Disability

A neurosurgeon is warning of an impending humanitarian crisis in Iran due to the violence inflicted on protesters. Estimates suggest 30,000-50,000 deaths and over 300,000 injuries, many from gunshot wounds. The neurosurgeon emphasizes that the gunshots cause serious and long-term trauma, resulting in persistent pain and potential neurological disability. The bullets scatter through tissues, causing inflammation and nerve damage. The doctor compares the situation to the American Civil War and warns of a potential opioid addiction crisis due to chronic pain.
