I’m not going to try to talk out my ass here, but years ago I dated a gastroenterologist, and one of the conversations we had centered around suicide attempts from people shooting themselves in the stomach.

She said that was the quickest way to not die, but to ensure that you will spend the rest of your life receiving regular medical care and you’ll never shit or piss normally again. Her message in that conversation to me was that the chances of dying by shooting/stabbing yourself in the gut are very low, but that doesn’t mean it’s consequence-free!
