Sometimes, you just can’t stop the party. It’s like Diddy said, “can’t stop, won’t stop.” A student partied for days with a bullet in his head.
If that won’t stop the party, I’m not sure what could. Turns out, he wasn’t even aware of what happened!
Student Parties For Days With Bullet In His Head
Now, I’m no stranger to taking shots at parties. However, the shots I’m taking are typically tequila. They certainly aren’t gun shots!
According to The New York Post, a medical student in Brazil has a ‘high shot tolerance’ after partying for several days with a bullet lodged in his brain! He wasn’t even aware! He thought it was an injury from a rock!
The incident happened on New Year’s Eve in Cabo Frio, which is close to Rio De Janeiro. Personally, I’ve never been to Rio or Brazil, but I’m familiar with it. From what I know, they like to party. I have to imagine that intensifies on New Year’s Eve.
According to The New York Post, the student was hanging out with friends on a beach when he felt something strike him in the head. Initially, he believed he was hit by a rock because he didn’t hear anything that would make him believe otherwise.
He told Globo 1, “I thought it was a stone, a bad joke, that someone picked up and threw a rock…If there was a noise, I could imagine what it could be. But I didn’t hear anything, it was completely normal.”
Could he have been shot by a silencer? That would be odd. Totally oblivious to what had just occurred, he continued partying. One of the people with his was actually a doctor and helped him stop the bleeding and treat his wound, per the New York Post.
Four days later, he realized there was definitely a problem here. According to the New York Post, he started suffering from arm spasms while on a car ride home. He was losing some of his motor skills. Things were not normal.
What Happened After He Was Shot?
According to the New York Post, he then went to the hospital where they discovered he had a 9mm bullet in his head. Doctors say he was lucky he didn’t suffer more serious damage by not having it addressed.
The New York Post says doctors were able to successfully extract the bullet without causing any further problems. Police are now attempting to identify where the bullet came from and who fired the shot.
Now, I’ve never been shot. However, I feel like I would notice if I had been shot. I would know! There’s no way I could just continue on partying. Then again, I’m not in Brazil.
These 7 Strange Items Have Been Found Inside People's Bodies
There are no shortage of ways that you can end up in the Emergency Room. Sometimes, it’s something completely unpreventable. Other times, it’s something that certainly could have been prevented with a little common sense. These 7 strange items have been found inside people’s bodies.
According to Fox News, in 2021, foreign objects stuck in people’s bodies was the ninth leading cause of accidental injuries that led to trips to the emergency room. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that in 2021 nearly 278,000 adults in the United States went to the E.R. due to some sort of object being stuck inside their body.
Objects Found Inside People’s Bodies
Regarding these objects being a common reason for trips to the Emergency Room, Dr. Marc Spiegel, a clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, told Fox News, “Foreign objects being stuck in strange places is predictable at number nine, when you consider that more than half are sex toys.” He continued, telling Fox News, “But there is also the factor of people absentmindedly poking themselves with objects, especially in the nose, ears, and mouth.”
This makes sense. Adult toys are often designed and intended to go inside of our bodies. Accidents can happen, they can get stuck, and that will indeed lead to a trip to the Emergency Room. While it may be embarrassing, I think we can all understand that it happens. What’s not as common are random items getting stuck up noses that are not intended to go up there.
That Doesn’t Belong There!
Emergency Room doctors have seen it all…and then some, I’m sure. Look around the room you’re in now. I’d be willing to bet there are at least ten objects within grabbing distance that could fit inside one of your orifices. It might take a little effort, but they can fit if you want them to. Now, the shocking thing about the data that Fox News is talking about is that it specifically states “adults.” Most of these items I could see a child easily getting stuck up their nose, or swallowing on accident. An adult ending up with these things inside of them somehow feels less accidental and more…on purpose.
Here are seven strange items that have been found inside people’s bodies. All of these things led to a trip to the Emergency Room. It shouldn’t have to be said, but I’m going to say it anyways. Please, don’t try any of these at home. Don’t become a story.
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
