Oregon man survives 12 nails to the head
33-year-old meth user attempted suicide using nail gun, doctors say

Updated: 7:32 p.m. ET April 21, 2006
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 1½ 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.

He was on meth....noooo wayyyyy I dont believe it. I thought meth users just sratched a little harder when they wanted to kill themselves? Ahhhhh speed bumps!!!!!!!!!!$#%$^!%$

minusonebit · 04-21-2006, 09:13 PM

Wow, thats fucked up.

Now, I wonder who paid for his medical care. He dosent sound like someone who has a job. I bet we the people spent a couple hundred thousand dollars to save this idiot and for what purpose? Should have put him to sleep. Its what he wanted anyway.

04-21-2006, 09:32 PM

he probably didn't feel it, what a tard

GUNNER · 04-21-2006, 10:55 PM

man, I hate it when I shoot myself in the head with a nail gun and then forget about it.

xclusive · 04-21-2006, 11:21 PM

Damn that's brutal

fritz · 04-21-2006, 11:36 PM

i grew up as a builder - i still have a great collection of nail guns -i highly recommend the US made DUOFAST framing gun - it has a shitload of power - i could get mine firing over 100yds easy - and use a 3" hot dipped gal nail - they're a liitle harder and won't rust easy - you can get stainless but stainless is soft...
still... nothing beats beats gunshot if you are keen on leaving..
though i did find 2 guys decapitated in a rollover once - it was a neat job too..

Socks · 04-21-2006, 11:41 PM

What a fucking pussy, didn't have the balls to finish himself off. I mean only 12 nails? C'mon, what an embarassment. I'm sure his dad can't even go to his local card game anymore, the ridicule.

lapdance06 · 04-22-2006, 06:16 AM

Sounds like a lot of time and money was wasted treating and studying this moron.

Maybe he should have just went back to the basics and used a regular hammer and nails instead of being so high tech and efficient with a nail gun?

Then he would probably be dead already. Save society the grief of dealing with this f**king idiot!

chris454660 · 04-22-2006, 08:14 AM

ouch....now thats gonna hurt in the morning

Amen to that.

You almost think the pain would be so unbearable if you had nails in your head, but he only had a headache. I was fascinated when I learned that there are no nerve cells in brain tissue.

Vitasoy · 04-22-2006, 01:49 PM

Ouch that had to hurt. Pretty damn crazy
