Although an officer's quality of life would go down dramatically after a gunshot wound to the groin region, an injury to the femoral region is life-threatening. If an EMT or doc- tor is not immediately present to treat a severe injury to the femoral artery, the injured officer's life expectancy is extremely low. A high percentage of officers injured in this way would bleed to death before showing up at a nearby hospital.
