Holy crap...

He really couldn't think of a better form of suicide? At the very least make it... less painful. :sweatdrop:

I hope he gets fixed up in mind as well as body. :no:

[Gregoshi]

Well, that's one way to get hammered. ~D

[discovery1]

Wow, to fail at suicide. What does that say, aside from the possibilty of not wanting to kill yourself?


Hopefuly getting off meth will fix him up for the most part.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Ouch.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Whoa...he managed to keep shooting nails into his head eleven times after the first one, and survived with no serious lasting effects?!?!?!

The brain is pretty good at redundancy. If one part is damaged another part can start doing its work.

Minor point:


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.

Not very original.

There is this belief that damage to the brain is fatal all of the time, but has veen said this is far from the truth.

Much of the pioneering studies on the brain was done after the Sino Russia war due to the small calibre of bullet used took out descrete areas of the brain. Recently my consultant mold us about someone shot through the head with a 9mm, with the only damage done his inability to cope with bieng alive after being shot!

Supersonic bullets will create shock waves in teh flesh they hit as they decelerate, so will pulp the brain. Lead bullets will tend to flatten and cause massive tissue loss, but small descrete objects like nails won't do that much really - in fact, often far less damage than is seen after someone has had a stroke (which can include the complete loss of cne cerebral hemisphere).

The patient was later transferred to psychiatric care and stayed under court order for nearly a month before leaving against doctors’ orders.bold added by master of the puppets

in this case i doubt hes off the meth.
