A young man presented with a gunshot wound to the right chest, with hemo-pneumothorax and hemorrhagic shock. He got a chest tube and intubation and massive transfusion and stabilized. CT of chest showed the bullet path through his right lung but nowhere near his heart. But he did get an EKG: What is this? There were times when it would be usurped by sinus tachycardia, then return to this rhythm.
