When sitting in the drs. office waiting for MadHatter to come out, bored out of my skull, I got talking to a woman next to me who used to work in an x-ray /cat scan department about the most unsual x-rays / cat scans she'd ever seen. She said the worse was some guys were out bow hunting for deer, and that night they did like all hunters, sat around and got drunk.

Unfortunately for this guy, they decided to shoot beer cans off each other's heads with their arrows. You know the kind, look like they have razor blades on the head?

Well he came into er with a 3' metal arrow sticking out of his eye socket. He was totally conscious, and still drunk, wanting to know if this "was going to take long". They had to get engineering in with special cutters to cut off the shaft of the arrow, so he could fit into the cat scan machine.

Turns out the arrow had gone through his eye, through his brain, and the point of the arrow was lodged against his skull, near the bottom of his head (so it went in an angle and down). The guy was lucid the entire time. They had to drill a hole in the back of his skull, and pull the arrow out that way.

Other than losing his eye, he suffered no damage, no brain damage. Other than the damange that caused him to think shooting beer cans off his friends was a good idea. I wish I'd have had more time to talk to her, that was wild.
