Man Finds Nail in Skull Six Days Later

January 18, 2005


Uhh…

A dentist found the source of the toothache Patrick Lawler was complaining about on the roof of his mouth: a four-inch nail the construction worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six days earlier.

A nail gun backfired on Lawler, 23, on Jan. 6 while working in Breckenridge, a ski resort town in the central Colorado mountains. The tool sent a nail into a piece of wood nearby, but Lawler didn’t realize a second nail had shot through his mouth, said his sister, Lisa Metcalse.

    I still don’t understand how you shoot yourself with a nail gun and don’t notice!?!

    Yeah. It is kind of tough to imagine confusing it with a toothache… possible, though, apparently.
