"But Alice had got so much into the way
of expecting nothing but out of the way things
to happen that it seemed quite dull and stupid
for life to go on in the common way."

PORTLAND, Ore. - An Oregon man who went to a hospital complaining of a headache was found to have 12 nails embedded in his skull from a suicide attempt with a nail gun, doctors say. Surgeons removed the nails with needle-nosed pliers and a drill, and the man survived with no serious lasting effects, according to a report on the medical oddity in the current issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. The unidentified 33-year-old man was suicidal and high on methamphetamine last year when he fired the nails - up to 2 inches in length - into his head one by one. The nails were not visible when doctors first examined the man in the emergency room of an unidentified Oregon hospital a day later. Doctors were surprised when X-rays revealed six nails clustered between his right eye and ear, two below his right ear and four on the left side of his head. The study did not say how long the nails were, and a hospital spokeswoman refused to release that information. A photo published in the study suggests the nails range from 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. No one before is known to have survived after intentionally firing so many foreign objects into the head, according to the report, written by Dr. G. Alexander West, the neurosurgeon who oversaw the treatment of the patient. The man at first told doctors he had had a nail gun accident, but later admitted it was a suicide attempt. The nails came close to major blood vessels and the brain stem but did not pierce them. The patient was in remarkably good condition when he was transferred to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where the nails were removed. The patient was later transferred to psychiatric care and stayed under court order for nearly a month before leaving against doctors' orders.
I am feeling cynical tonite.Let's see how long it takes for him to try the same trick again after all that money was spent on him. That's my logical side. My sympathetic side just says it must have been a miracle that pulled him thru it...

I am an outspoken NASCAR Extreme Fan. I alway have something to say, ranging from 0 -180 and back on the IQ scale, in 6 seconds flat.
All of my NASCAR predictions are based on the Astrological charts of each driver. Albert Einstein occasionally channels advice when I least expect it. I am not responsible in any way for anything he says while he is dead. I am also fairly sure there is a conspiracy by Aliens to take over NASCAR.
Sassing back is welcomed and encouraged.

This is a fake counter to give fake stats. Well not exactly fake. It should be accurate from today. There is a hidden stat counter and IP logger that I have always had on this blog so don't think I don't know you were here, even if you don't leave a comment. I do. I even know your IP address. Muahhaha...Don't worry tho, if my stats show me you were here for two hours, I do not assume you found my blog that interesting. I assume you opened another window and forgot to close the one you had my blog open on. I won't accuse you of lurking. I am not that interesting.
