[QUOTE]Medically impossible? No - this was a true injury, and here are the X-rays, say medics.
The man was rushed to Krasnoyarsk Region Clinical Hospital by ambulance after he was skewered through the scalp protruding 11cm inside his head 'piercing his brain'. The appalling injury to the man aged between 40 and 45 is believed to have been sustained during a fight, say reports in the Siberian city.
It is unclear if a jealous wife, vicious robber, or gangland thug was responsible, but the police are said to know the identity of the attacker or attackers.
'There are times when even the most experienced doctors are amazed by the nature of the injury,' said a medical source in the Siberian region.
The patient was put on a trolley and immediately taken to the operating theatre where a team of neurosurgeons headed by Dr Pavel Rudenko 'took out the metal body from the patient's head without complications'.
'After the removal of such a massive object, there was no bleeding even at the time of surgery,' said a source at the regional health ministry in Krasnoyark.
'Thanks to the prompt and coordinated action of all services of the regional hospital, the patient is alive.
'The man spent two weeks in intensive care in a serious but stable condition'.[/QUOTE]

he would look pretty badass
He's the Russian [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage]Phineas Gage[/url].
Hopefully he'll have less neurological issues than Mr. Gage, but some kind of permanent brain damage should certainly be expected

This is a very interesting read. It's amazing how much we know about the brain as a result of how physical trauma damages it.
I mean, i'd have mood swings if i had a steel rod blown clean through my head anyway, not because of the brain damage, but still

All it would take is one smartass with a powerful magnet to ruin his day.
Oh fuck me, that looks painful!

Holy shit that guy did vomit afterwards when they put out the steel rod thing and while he vomited completely conscious there was brain coming out of the hole in his head just by the pressure.

Maybe he's lucky and it just destroyed the part of his brain that remembers annoying advertisement jingles.
