US doctors found 12 nails stuck in the skull of a man who came in complaining
\n of a headache.<\/p>\n
Medics believe the man fired the two-inch nails into his head himself in
\n a bizarre suicide bid – but somehow survived.<\/p>\n
"Incredibly he’s made a full recovery," said Dr Alexander West, the
\n neurosurgeon who led the team that pulled out the nails.<\/p>\n
"This guy was blessed in some way. I mean, it’s incredible."<\/p>\n
The 2-inch nails were not originally visible in the 33-year-old’s head
\n when he sought help in hospital in Portland, Oregon.
\n But x-rays revealed six nails clustered between his right eye and ear,
\n two below his right ear and four on the left side of his head.<\/p>\n
The nails came close to major blood vessels and the brain stem but did
\n not pierce them<\/p>\n
Officials believe the unnamed man was suicidal and high on methamphetamine
\n when he fired the nails into his head one by one with a nail gun.<\/p>\n
