I've been messing about a bit with a possibility for my next project, and I realised while writing down a few notes for it that I'm at a loss for the specifics of a central event. I'm looking for a plausible scenario for one of my characters who is injury. The aftermath is more important than the actual type of injury (i.e. broken bone, knife wound, gunshot, etc - I'm not wedded to any single type at this point), and ideally I'd want an injury that could:
- Send a fit adult male to A&E and keep him in hospital for a few nights (longer would also work)
- Limit use of either arm - long term/permanent damage is possible with the plot although regaining a majority of use is preferable
- Preferably an upper torso/shoulder wound, on either side (front or back), or upper arm
