Remember that guy who shot himself in the face with the nail gun?

At least it was an accident, not like the drunk Austrailian who put it to his head and fired as a lark.

Mind you at the hospital he did offer to pull the nail out by himself.

Uhhh...

Lawler said he doesn't know how he'll pay medical bills estimated to reach $100,000. He's uninsured.

"I was self-employed on the job," he said.

"I would have had to carry my own health insurance. But I didn't think I'd shoot myself with a nail, you know?"
Uninsured...that's what's sad.

If he wanted to be 23 and $100,000 in debt he should've went to medical school. He could've did his own surgery as well then!

I'm still wondering...how in the hell do you not notice a nail being shot up into your skull? Wouldn't there have been some blood? A kick from the impact of the nail? Something?

That's what I was thinking too. I mean this guy had it in him for 6 days. You'd have thought he would at the very least felt some strange object in the roof of his mouth.

Ummm...that's why it's insurance dumbass. Nobody expects to get hurt, or plans on being in an car accident, or assumes their house will burn down, but it's why you get insurance, in case something bad happens.

Yup, this is what bankruptcy was intended for. Not the "Oh sh!t I spent too much and can't pay my bills" crowd.

The head of the nail was almost certainly recessed completely, flesh probably closed around it.

Nail guns are designed to drive a nail flush (or even slightly recessed into) wood, it's no match for flesh & bone.
