Today, Pami, our general surgeon, performed surgery on a 33 year old male who required removal of a lesion on his right foot.  He had been complaining of swelling and discomfort for some time and the surgeon thought that this might be due to a cyst.  During the operation, however, the surgeon discovered that the culprit was a foreign body - specifically, an old bullet!!  (see our Facebook Link for a photo).  The patient then recalled that he had been shot about 10 years ago during a home invasion in Guatemala....he has been given the bullet as a "souvenir"!
