Another Xray of someone with something stuck in their skull
 
Seems like I recall some other images on the Cellar of people who were unfortunate to get something foreign stuck in their skull. Here's one making the rounds today!

Is there a story that goes with that?

It looks a little uncomfortable.

Edit: Now I see the link. Sorry.

That'll leave a mark.

I think dogs make good pets.




What, is a non-secateur not appropriate here?

He fell on it... just like the thing in his ass.

A pensioner is lucky to be alive after impaling himself in the eye with a pair of pruning shears.

Leroy Luetscher, 86, had been gardening outside his home in Tucson, Arizona, when the horrific accident took place - but amazingly he is expected to make a full recovery.

He had dropped the shears which landed point-side down in the ground and then bent down to pick them up. But he lost his balance and fell face down directly on to the handle.

Is that a serious question? It runs down the side of your neck. Easier to cut the jugular vein, but cutting the carotid will kill you even faster.

it's really called my EXTERNAL carotid? yeah didn't bother to look it up, sorry folks. I know where the artery is that I've always known and loved as my "carotid artery", I never bothered to call it my internal aterery. External? wtf? If I can see or feel it from my skin makes it external?. Does that make all the other "internal" blah blah blah?

It's because you have two of them. The "common carotid artery" splits just above your collar bone into the "internal carotid artery," which runs deep in the middle of your neck, and the "external carotid artery," which runs much more superficially and is more easily accessible by both knives and gardening shears.

BigV 08-31-2011 11:34 PM
two or four?

and regardless, THANKS!

Sundae 09-01-2011 04:41 AM
I wish I hadn't looked at this.
It's one of my personal terrors made real.
Lean over, lose balance, get speared through the eye.

Retch.

Well yes, two on each side. Left common carotid, right common carotid, left external carotid, right external carotid, left internal carotid, right internal carotid.

That she knows this surprises me not at all.

If you do a correct oblique lumbar spine you'll get what look like scottie dogs.

Actually a Lumbar spine, not a colon. FTR.
