Man Fails to Remember How 10-cm Nail Got in His Head

Russian man managed to survive a night with 10-cm nail in his head



Russia has never failed to surprise me. Firstly they came up with Stalin and vodka, and now they've gone one better and produced a man who managed to survive a night with a 10cm nail in his head!

The man from Western Russia was brushing his hair after a party the previous night when he noticed a metal dowel sticking out of his head. The man reacted very calmly and went straight to the doctors to have the nail removed.

The amazing thing is this man does not remember a single thing about how the nail managed to find its way into his head! Normally, one would at least feel a painful sensation when something as gruesome as this happens.

This incident sort of reminds me of how in life we can get wounded by people or certain events and not know the extent of the damage until one day when we're "brushing our hair" we realise we are hurt. Very often, the hurt could be an emotional or psychological one. I suppose it is inevitable that we will sometimes fall victim to unkind words or unfortunate incidents. Point of the matter is we remain calm and steady and react to deal with the problem just like this cool Russian dude did. He survived a rusty nail, I'm pretty sure with a little grit and determination we would be able to survive rusty emotional/psychological nails that are stuck in our hearts or heads.

Bring out the vodka!
