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. (Full story)
Twelve nails to the noggin’ and this guy complains of a headache. Makes me wonder how long it took for the doctor to discover the real problem:
Doctor: So, what brings you here today?
Nailboy: I’ve got a headache I can’t quite shake.
Doctor: Would you describe it as throbbing or pounding?
Nailboy: More like piercing.
Doctor: Do you get these headaches often?
Nailboy: No, this is the first time.
Doctor: Have you been under any stress at work?
Nailboy: Nope.
Doctor: Home?
Nailboy: Nope.
Doctor: Any major bumps to the head?
Nailboy: Nope.
Doctor: I think I’ve covered just about everything. Oh wait, have you hammered any nails into your skull recently?
Nailboy: Come to think of it, I did shoot 12 nails into my head last night. Think that might be the problem?

The guy gave up after just 12 nails? Everyone knows you need a baker’s dozen to do yourself in!!

I liked that they used pliers and a drill to remove the nails. Did the guy bring his own tool box? Sounds like he could have done the removal himself with a mirror and a beer. We don’t need socialized medicine we need people with more tools.

I read that he had to reload the nail gun to get all 12 shots in.
That’s dedication.
