Darling - I've Got an Headache!!

[Metal Head]

Nail shot into man's head caused a "sting".

A Doctor used a claw hammer to remove a 6cm nail from a man's head after he was accidentally shot with a nail gun. George Chandler, of Shawnee in the US state of Kansas, said he felt "very lucky" to have survived the accident.

It happened as he and a friend put up a lattice for his wife's climbing rose on Friday. His friend was nailing up boards while Mr Chandler was below him. The nail gun hose got tangled and the nail gun fired. His friend asked him if he saw where the nail went, and he said he didn't but he felt a sting on the top of his head. Mr Chandler told local TV station KCTV5 that he was rushed to a hospital, where a doctor used a common claw hammer to remove the nail. "Does anybody have a hammer, a claw hammer. I thought he was teasing at first, but then he says, 'No. It went in like that. We can pull it out like that,'" Mr Chandler said. He said he felt no pain and there was only a little blood on the nail. By Monday he was walking his dogs with his wife and grandchildren, KCTV5 said. Mr Chandler's family said that if the nail had entered his head just a millimetre lower, the nail could have left him paralysed or caused serious damage to his speech or eyesight.

Amazing stuff Metalhead...

I had a boss a while ago who had a friend who was a doctor in a clinic somewhere up in New Guinea, back when it wasn't very safe to be up there at all. One day this doctor went out into the waiting room of the Surgery to see who was "next", and there was a Native sitting there quite patiently with a Tomahawk sticking out of his head (true story). Anyway, he had the fellow come into his room and sit down on the side of the Table, and after having a good look and a careful think, he (the doctor) just simply pulled the Tomahawk straight out of the chap's head, whereupon the poor fellow immediately fell over sideways stone cold dead. Every now and then when I think of the poor fellow (whoever he was), I say a little prayer for him...

I guess there's not much else you could do but pull the nail out, but the chap in your story was truly fortunate nonetheless, that's for sure. There was another case like that over there in the U.S. a few months back, but with about six obviously deliberately fired nails in the guys head, instead of just one accidental one. The guy survived, and gave the cops some lame story about it being an accident. Someone must have had him really scared... :C

Best Wishes,
Batpig.

He was told to use his head
... he nailed it in one.
