From Kerry's website...

20 February 1969, “Wounded by piece of B-40 shrapnel today while on operation, in portion of left thigh.”

Mr. Kerry sustained an injury when he was wounded by a piece of B- 40 shrapnel while on operation. He was noted to have a wound of entry on the back of his left thigh and the wound was debrided and treated with the application of a topical dressing. An x-ray confirmed the shrapnel location but a decision was made to leave the shrapnel in place, as successful removal would have necessitated an extensive wider exposure and block excision of the wound. The course of conservative treatment was successful and a wound infection did not develop. The wound was ultimately closed with sutures following debridement of necrotic tissue.

Another bandaid wound. I wouldn't be surprised if he ASKED them to leave it in Twisted Evil

Rice won't show up on an X-Ray. The medical report??? Not believable...show me a current X-Ray.

I wouldn't demand the Xray of the shrapnel in the leg, he might just have it and then use it to bolster a claim that he is being "unfairly" attacked and draw sympathy to his side. What he needs to release are his medical records.
