Soldier Has Knife Removed From His Skull
This is pretty wild. I was at a party last night and Harry (one of my neighbors) was telling a story about a soldier his son had operated on that was wounded in Iraq. The soldier was blindsided with a knife to the side of his head while on patrol in Baghdad in October and came into the hospital with a knife handle sticking out of the side of his head. The blade went four inches into the side of his brain.
Dr. Richard Teff was one of the nuerosurgeons that operated on the soldier in Iraq and removed the knife from his brain. It's an amazing story. You can read more about it at the links below:
