There Are Headaches…..

…And then there are headaches. This story will make you cringe. An 18-year old student from India has survived having a four-foot metal pole skewer him completely through the head. Wait until you see the X-ray.

Manish Rajpurohit has been hailed the luckiest teenager in India after he survived being skewered by a metal pole in a bus crash.

The 18-year-old student was riding a bus in Andhra Pradesh state when it was hit by a lorry.

The force of the smash rammed the four foot safety rail into Rajpurohit's forehead and through his skull - only missing his spine by a few millimetres.

Rajpurohit was rushed to a hospital, then to another one when the first could not begin to handle the task of extracting the pole. The pole actually missed anything vital. This is one lucky young man.
