Digby Owens

Digby Owens was a patient who had a friend shoot him in the arm because he liked the scars.

Getting Shot
Digby came into the hospital with a gun-shot wound. His friend had shot him at his request because he liked the scars. He called them his art. The bullet went through his arm and hit his ribs, cracking one and causing a hemopneumothorax. They put in a chest tube to drain the blood before re-inflating his lung.

After that was done, his labs showed a spike in his white blood cells, so they looked for causes of infection. He told them about his new tattoo on his calf. It was severely infected, so they moved him to the ICU, where he went into multi-system organ failure. Despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead.
