ResumoThe Lynyrd Skynyrd chorus lyrics make it clear, “It's a Saturday night special/Got a barrel that's blue and cold/Ain't no good for nothin'/But put a man six feet in a hole.” 1 Lynyrd Skynyrd Saturday Night Special. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lynyrd+skynyrd/saturday+night+special_20086135.html Google Scholar Saturday night has a reputation in bad neighborhoods as a time when folks with knives and guns come out to play, and the result is business in the emergency department. The associated injuries are described as penetrating injuries. Kathryn Moore, Member, Bluegrass Chapter, is Assistant Professor of Nursing, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY.
