This X-ray picture shows a 5-centimeter nail stuck in an unidentified South Korean patient's skull Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004. According to a Seoul hospital, doctors found the nail after the man came to the hospital, complaining about a severe headache. They speculate that the nail stuck in the man's head four years ago in an accident but the man didn't know about it. The nail was removed in a surgery last Saturday. (AP Photo/Yonhap). |
How could he not know?? The damn this is nowhere near his hair line! "Say, what`s that silver thing sticking out of my forehead?"
You guys HATE when this happens!
The guy had no recollection of having a nail driven into his head. Jimmy Kimmel said that the nail must have damaged that part of the brain that is responsible for remembering whether someone has driven a nail into your head.
How the hell didn't he see it??
WTH?
How could he NOT know that he has a nail in his head?
so.. I'm curious.. does the nail get removed or do you just leave the it there? i.e. is removing it too dangerous. Any medical types know?
This is exactly why I'm afraid to have my head examined!
I suspect alcohol may have been a factor in his memory lapse. It's just a hunch.

Maybe the mirror he uses every morning to shave only comes up to his eyes.
I hope they sterilized the pry bar before yanking that thing out.

Perhaps the whack with hammer had something to do with it?
It might have been under the skin. Remember, the skin extends further than the skull in an x-ray; soft tissue doesn't show up.

Look closely its countersunk. :)
not, craw, CRAW!!
This guy's got three rows of teeth, no wonder he couldn't feel it.
the nail goes in and imbeds against the bone under the skin. the spot looks nasty but you cant see the nail. it hurts so he doesnt pick at it much. it heals over. ?
This whole thing could have been avoided if he'd simply learn to stay away from X-ray machines.
