Reminds me of that South Korean trauma surgeon who trained in the states and has pushed for Korea to get US-style trauma centers.

Dude got plenty of experience dealing with gunshot wounds, which probably helped him when that one North Korean defector came over the border, riddled with bullets (you may have heard this story, it was big news at the time). The especially weird coincidence was that the surgeon's mentor from the states was in Korea at the time this happened, what are the odds.

Similar vein: during The Troubles, physicians in Belfast got particularly good at dealing with managing cranial pressure and making skull plates from bar bombings, and dealing with bone repair from kneecap punishment shootings
