US teen survives spear through brain

A US teenager's survival after a spear was shot through his brain is a miracle, doctors say.

Yasser Lopez, 16, is recovering after he was accidentally hit with a spear gun by a friend during a Florida fishing trip this month.

Medics at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami said the 3ft (90cm) projectile entered his brain over his right eye and went out the back of his head.

He is now out of bed and speaking following a three-hour operation.

Medics said he was awake as he arrived at hospital, and became "agitated".

After sedating the teenager, part of the stainless steel spear had to be severed with a mechanical cutter so he could fit into the CT scanner.

Doctors said the teenager has no memory of the freak accident.

He was shot with the projectile as he swam in a lake near his Miami area home on 8 June when his friend set off the trigger of a spear gun he was loading.

While medics are not sure of the extent of the damage to his memory and other parts of the brain, they say his condition could have been much worse.

"It's a miracle the spear missed all the main blood vessels of the brain," neurosurgeon Ross Bullock told reporters.

Also helpful, doctors say, was the foreign object's trajectory into the right side of the brain, Mr Lopez's non-dominant lobe, missing the parts responsible for speech and other important functions.

Well you can tell from the lack of mud on the body it doesn't spin much. Maybe they meant 4.88 gears, with twin geared cases it would pull, just very slowly...

Clay, if you are looking to gamble and have beer, just go to the Clubhouse. If you are looking for strippers or prostitutes, go under the bridge. If you are looking for food, go to the Dairy Hut.

Harlan County. it's like the Vegas of the East Coast -- only better.

So while browsing the Facebooks tonight I spy some random white trashism that I have to share.

Girl posts up a picture of a new tat with her husbands brothers race car number above it. Tribal Tramp Stamp ofcourse..... Well, I get a good laugh in thinking "what happens when the divorce happens". It gets better.

It is one of those black henna fake's on a (i'm guessing) 6 YO girl....WHO THE FAWK DOES THAT???? Thats like saying...here daughter which I love, this is the first step in your career of becoming a coked out stripper.

High five for being a FI_ICK UP!!

Got my taxes for the TJ today. Whoping $34. I can handle that. It's almost cheaper to own it and have full coverage on it after the discount I get on my truck insurance.
