Solution
The correct option is D Alexis St. Martin
- St. Martin worked as a voyageur in Canada. He was inadvertently shot at close range with a musket at a fur trading post.
- The blast blew a hole through his side, and when it healed it formed an abnormal passageway in his stomach.
- He was taken to a nearby army base, and treated by Beaumont. Amazingly, despite the severity of the injuries, the surgeon was able to save him.
