Re: Extreme X-Ray Images
What?! No pix of Phineas Gage? He has to be the most famous guy with something lodged in his skull. I have no idea how to post a pic, but I guess I shall try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage · |

Re: Extreme X-Ray Images
Some weird x-rays i came across today. A-Wen Wen, 38, of central China walked into Jiaotong University clinic in Xi'an with the entire blade of a knife buried in his head after his father allegedly stabbed him, according to a report from Central European News. One ER nurse reportedly fainted as Wen walked up to reception with the hilt of the knife poking out of his head and casually answered questions about his injury. B-On July 3, 2007, a teenage Iraqi insurgent attacked Sgt. Dan Powers on the streets of Baghdad, plunging a 9-inch knife deep into his skull. Powers later recalled that he believed he had been punched, not stabbed -- and only when one of his comrades told him he had a knife in his head did he realize the extent of his injury. C-Emerson de Oliveira Abreu required five hours of high-risk surgery after a fishing spear, which he apparently fired himself, ricocheted off rocks and penetrated his head and brain, The Associated Press reports. Abreu was injured while diving off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The six-inch blade penetrated so deeply into his head that only the tip was visible, according to family members and authorities. D-Eleven-year-old Chinese schoolboy Liu Cheong had a brush with death when his friend shot him in the head with a 16-inch arrow, according to numerous international media reports. The arrow entered his skull through the eye socket and lodged in the back of his head. Somehow, the boy was spared a fatal brain injury. E-British military medics in Afghanistan were stunned when faced with a young patient who had a knife embedded in his head. Upon his arrival at the field hospital with his father, the boy was still conscious and able to walk. The boy reportedly received the injury when a man tried to attack his father. F-A 2-year-old from Minnesota was treated at the Mayo Clinic in December after she tripped and fell on a screwdriver. The tool entered her head above her left eye. Fortunately, doctors were able to remove the screwdriver without surgery, and the girl escaped without major injury, according to media reports. |
