We would like to thank our colleagues, Norman N. Komar, Raymond F. Carmody, Boyd C. Ashdown, Andrew Gyorke, Timothy Swan and Evan C. Unger, for contributing cases.
We would also like to thank the Knife and Gun Club of Tucson, AZ, the US-Mexico drug trade and the distillers of the world for keeping us up all night with a smorgasbord of head trauma.
