Removing Piece of Wood Out of a Patient's Face
They couldn't find it on x-rays and finally after eight months one doc performed a surgery to remove it as the patient kept complaining about pain etc.

Jeez! I'm not surprised he was in pain! Xrays are shit. I've had things missed on them myself.

Re: Removing Piece of Wood Out of a Patient's Face
When I was about 11 or 12 years old we lived in Panama because my Dad was in the Army and he was stationed there. I was out playing Army with some friends and I was going through some bamboo that was laid out flat. In the middle of it there was a hole cut out of it and there was a dead spider on the ground. I called for my friends to come look at it and I slipped and felt something hit my left leg about 2 inches above my kneecap. There was a little hole where I felt it hit and there was a drop of blood there. My Dad took me to the hospital and they x-rayed my leg and cut a little trying to see if thee was any bamboo in there. They couldn't find anything and about a month later I noticed something sticking out of that area. My Dad took me to the hospital and there was a piece of bamboo growing out of my leg. After they gave me a shot to numb my leg I was worried that it would hurt when they pulled it out so he told me that he wouldn't pull it out until I was ready. So I was feeling my leg and I decided that it was numb enough so he could pull it out and he said he already did and he just let me lay there for a while. That piece of bamboo was about 1 inch long.He let me have that piece of bamboo and it got lost somewhere over the years. It is amazing that the human body can grow bamboo out of it.

X rays won't show wood, but how the hell did the medics not find that when he went to hospital the first time....
