Brazilian worker survives iron bar piercing skull

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A 24-year-old construction worker survived after a 6-foot metal bar fell from above and pierced his head, doctors said Friday.

Luiz Alexandre Essinger, chief of staff at Rio de Janeiro's Miguel Couto Hospital, said doctors successfully withdrew the iron bar from Eduardo Leite's skull during a five-hour surgery.

"He was taken to the operating room, his skull was opened, they examined the brain and the surgeon decided to pull the metal bar out from the front in the same direction it entered the brain." Essinger said.

He said Leite was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and told him what had happened.

He said Leite was lucid and showed no negative consequences after the operation.

"Today, he continues well, with few complaints for a five-hour-long surgery," Essinger said. "He says he feels little pain."

Ouch.. Thats lucky.. About 10 years before I started my job, there was a guy who fell off the roof of a house, apparently he fell face first into a 4 foot piece of rebar sticking out of the ground, went in his eye, and out the back of his skull. He was alive still so they cut the rebar from the ground and called the ambo. I know the motherfucker is 100% braindead now though, he might have been more lucky if it killed him.

Everyone comes with bullshit stories like this one, and they're all made up.

Looks like it severed the prefrontal cortex, which limits his emotions much like a lobotomy would. He probably never noticed any difference because he's already a mindless drone anyway.

Yeah I've seen that faggot ass name plastered all over the web, but I never bothered to look it up because, like everything else that everyone on the internet likes to talk about, it is most definitely some stupid fucking bullshit.
