Comedian Bryson Explains Accidental Gunshot to the Face

The Day of the Incident

• 🗓️ On January 29th, 2018, a then 21-year-old Bryson, who described himself as a "hoodlm" and "degenerate," was planning to hang out with a friend.
• 💸 He had just purchased a Desert Eagle handgun for about $2,000, using the last of his money, legally from a store in Salt Lake City.

The Accidental Shooting

• 🏠 Upon arriving at his friend's apartment, Bryson placed the new handgun on the counter.
• 🤝 A neighbor, whom Bryson described as a drug dealer, came over and, seeing the Desert Eagle, pulled out his own Ruger P94 DC handgun.
• 💥 While fiddling with his Ruger, the neighbor accidentally fired the gun at chest level, striking Bryson.

Immediate Aftermath and Medical Condition

• 🤯 Bryson experienced immediate disorientation, ringing in his ears, and a feeling of being hit by a train, initially unaware he had been shot.
• 👁️ He realized the bullet had entered his eye socket, describing the sensation as his fingers sliding into it like "jello."
• 🩸 Compounding the emergency, Bryson revealed he has hemophilia factor 9, a rare blood condition where his blood does not clot, making him prone to bleeding out from traumatic injuries.

Emergency Response and Survival

• ⚠️ Bryson, who did not wear a medical alert bracelet, focused on staying alert to inform paramedics about his hemophilia.
• 🤮 He began throwing up blood due to the bullet's impact affecting his nasal passages and stomach.
• 🚑 Paramedics arrived within six minutes, and Bryson repeatedly informed them of his condition, "I have hemophilia factor 9," before losing consciousness.
