PORTLAND, Ore. (April 22) - A 33-year-old Oregon man on methamphetamine and suffering from mental health problems fired 12 nails from a nail gun into his head and survived.
The man, who has not been identified by medical officials for privacy reasons, went to an Oregon hospital last year complaining of a headache.
Doctors were surprised when they took X-rays and found the nails - six clustered between his right eye and ear, two below his right ear and four on the left side of his head.
No one before is known to have survived having intentionally fired so many foreign objects into the head, according to the current issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery, where the case is detailed.
The shallow end of the gene pool is running low on water.
