Brazilian worker survives miraculous metal piercing
A 24-year-old construction worker survived after a 6-foot metal bar fell
from above and pierced his head, doctors said Friday.
Luiz Alexandre Essinger, chief of staff at Rio de Janeiro's Miguel Couto
Hospital, said doctors successfully withdrew the iron bar from Eduardo Leite's
skull during a five-hour surgery.
'He was taken to the operating room, his skull was opened, they examined
the brain and the surgeon decided to pull the metal bar out from the front in
the same direction it entered the brain.' Essinger said.
He said Leite was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and told him
what had happened and that Leite was lucid and showed no negative consequences
after the operation.
