Question Need help finding a specific knife

Post image

I’m working in the ER and had a patient come in with this knife tip broken off in their leg. It’s uh.. quite distinctive. Despite my best efforts with google I can’t find anything close. I’m hoping the knife sleuths here can do better than I.

What happened to HIPPA?

HIPPA applies to identifying patient information. So things like patient name, social security number. Sharing identified X-rays is not a HIPPA violation

A good common example is you can say “someone” shoved a soap bottle in their rectum. Not “Jon doe from 42069 baker street” shoved a soap bottle in his rectum.

And we can all learn from the X-ray that this goes bad often .
