How much time would it take for a young gunshot victim to recover?

Where shot?: Depends on where they were shot and was surgery required. Abdominal surgery for GSW is similar to other abd surgery-expect about a month to start feeling better. If a head shot, they make have permanent deficits and require a year or two to recover maximally.
