That Bullet Gives Me a Headache

Can you say pass the ADVIL!! A Chinese man has had a bullet removed from his head after being shot 23 years ago.Wang Tianqing, who lives in the northern province of Hebei, said he was walking home from work in 1988 when he was hit in the head by what he thought was a slingshot, the U.K. Telegraph reported.He started to have epileptic seizures.“At first, the convulsion only happened once a month, but later it was two or three times a day,” he told a local television station.Wang Zhiming, a neurosurgeon, said since the skull was very solid, it was able to slow down the bullet’s speed of penetration.“If the bullet had hit with greater force and to the right, Wang would have died,” he said.The two-centimetre rusted bullet was removed recently at a local hospital.

  • that is weird i dont know why he didnt get it out 23 years ago.
  • This guy is really lucky to be alive. He must have been in a lot of pain.

  • That should be a world record for longest time with a bullet in your body. Also that is bad that you never went to a hospital when you had 2-3 seizures a day.
  • Wow. how is this even possible. You thought after 23 years of all the siezures etc they would of figured it out. It surprises me that the bullet could be stopped by the skull and not have an like serious brain dead crap or even death. He is very lucky.
  • Omg this is crazy! if you got hit in the head by a bullet..wouldnt that hurt?? why would u think it would be a sling shot?? Then 23 years later u get it removed?! this is just interesting. i seriously wonder how he survived!
  • That's so crazy that he didn't even know that he was shot! He's one real lucky guy!

  • OW! that would be very painful i presume! I feel bad for the guy i mean he wasnt even doing anything when he was shot at! It would stink to have to take it out! Poor guy!

  • wow that is amazing that he survived! he is super lucky that he is alive. how could he live with a bullet in his head for 23 years? and wouldnt he have bleed a ton?? he is one crazy lucky man.

  • That is crazy, amazing he is still living. The bullet must have hit him in the perfect spot to not affect anything on the brain.

  • That is crazy! how do you not know you have been shot? It must of hit the perfect spot for him not to die or feel anything!
