HOW TF?
Surgeons left metal bar in my headThursday, June 5, 2008
Surgeons left a 10cm (4in) metal bar inside a teenager's head.
Donovan McGowan lived with the piece of metal inside him for three months after an operation.
The 18-year-old suffered from blinding headaches and also had an unsightly lump on the side of his head.
Eventually, he demanded a scan and it was then doctors found the bar.
'They said, “This is quite embarrassing but there is something metallic like a tube still in your head.”
It's been more than embarrassing for me having to walk about with this lump,' said Mr McGowan, from Glasgow.
The rod was left behind during an operation at Southern General Hospital, Glasgow, in March after he was hit by a car.
A hospital spokesman apologised and said it was an 'unfortunate error'. The ex-football steward, who gave up his job because of the pain, may now seek compensation from the trust.
OUCH!

If
...its not the Germans, it's the Japanese. What is it about people we've been to War with? I can only wonder what kind of news stories would be coming out of South America if we'd ever formally declared war on Argentina back in the day....
"TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man who was mystified when food kept disappearing from his kitchen, set up a hidden camera and found an unknown woman living secretly in his closet, Japanese media said Friday.
The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan called police Wednesday when the camera sent pictures to his mobile phone of an intruder in his home while he was out on Wednesday, the Asahi newspaper said on its Website.
Officers rushed to the house and found a 58-year-old unemployed woman hiding in an unused closet, where she had secreted a mattress and plastic drink bottles, the Asahi said. Police suspect she may have been there for several months, the paper said.
"I didn't have anywhere to live," the Nikkan Sports tabloid quoted the woman as telling police.
Local police confirmed that they had arrested a woman for trespassing, but would not comment further on the case."
Please tell me how the hell someone lives in your cupboard, especially in a place like Japan where the flats/apartments are half the size of the UK's, which are half the size of American apartments and you don't notice for a long time? Does the guy just stumble around in a drunken haze whenever he's home or something? I'm stunned.
