A man is paralyzed by a bullet in a bad drug deal. He has lost movement below the waist, has no control over his bowel or bladder.
As the years have gone by, pressure wounds have developed in his feet, buttocks and thighs that are so deep they involve underlying bone. He is slowly, piece by piece, being eaten away.
He might be helped by a very aggressive, high quality rehabilitation nursing unit but it is hard for him to get into one.
"It's the bullet," he says. "These places don't want anyone with a bullet wound. You see, they think it brings violence with it."
