Re: Fish Hook in Eye
i saw a clip on a documentary abut emergency procedures where this guy was fishing and the line broke and the fishing weight got lodged into his eye socket above his eye, was crazy, they took it out in surgery and were able to save the eye. dont remember what this show was called but they'd show videos (or re-enactments) of the accident, explain how they'd do surgery to help them, and then follow progress. was cool.

Re: Fish Hook in Eye
The following happened here in NY last year: MELVILLE, N.Y. (AP) -- A man fishing off Long Island is dead after a 3-ounce lead fishing weight attached to his pole struck him in the face and dug into his brain. Relatives and a physician said Roosevelt resident Jaime Chicas died Tuesday from severe head trauma and herniation. A neurologist at Nassau University Medical Center said the lead weight from Chicas' fishing pole hit with ``so much force that it kept going'' and lodged in the back of his head. Relatives say the 21-year-old was fishing with his brother-in-law and cousin at the west end of Jones Beach Friday when the accident happened. Lead sinkers are commonly used by fishermen to sink lures more rapidly. |
