Man unaware he had been shot in head five years ago

Man unaware he had been shot in head five years ago

Ben - Ever been too drunk to remember you were shot in the head? Yea, me neither.

A Polish man living in Germany was unaware he had been shot in the head for five years, because he was drunk when it happened.

24 Aug 2010

SOURCE

Police in the western city of Bochum said doctors found a .22 calibre bullet in the back of his head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.

Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year’s party “in 2004 or 2005”, but had forgotten about it because he had been “very drunk”, a police spokesman said.

“He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn’t really one for going to the doctor,” the spokesman said.

The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.

German Police said they were not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man’s head when a reveller fired a gun in celebration.

“It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down,” the spokesman said.

The resident of Herne, who has lived in Germany for several years, was expected to be released from hospital later this week after the bullet was removed on Friday, police said.

Ben - They have a picture of his x-ray at the source link above.

It sounds like another man that lives in the U.S, he had a bullet in his skull for eleven years. He's a photographer, so he was taking a picture of a building and behind him there was a gang fight going on and he walked away not knowing that they shot him in the head. Then eleven years later his head hurts a lot and he goes to his doc then they Xrayed his head and found the bullet.
