Cause of "toothache" was 4-inch nail in man's skull

By Erin Gartner

LITTLETON, Colo. — A dentist found the source of the toothache Patrick Lawler was complaining about on the roof of his mouth: a 4-inch nail the construction worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six days earlier.

A nail gun backfired on Lawler, 23, on Jan. 6 while he was working in Breckenridge, a ski-resort town in the central Colorado mountains. The tool sent a nail into a piece of wood nearby, but Lawler didn't realize a second nail had shot through his mouth, said his sister, Lisa Metcalse.

Dang! I saw a similiar situation to this on TV before. This man kept on losing conscious and having dizziness. So he went to the hospital and found out that he had a nail inside his skull and it can't be removed because his life could be at danger if he went thru a surgery. So he is stuck with a nail in his head for the rest of his life. Scary, eh?
