Apparently this was self-inflicted under the influence.
Just amazed at the x-ray and the fact he survived

holy fuk, is that legit ?
It kinda looks like nails are coming in not only from the left side BUT also from the right. ??? Am I seeing that right.
Which might suggest, that he got bored driving nails in one side, swapped hands and went at it from the other !!! Jeeez, the things you do when your bored.
:rolleyes: So, I reakon somebody else did it to him. One of those........
'keep your mouth shut punk !!!! or else your dead.......if the cops ask, you did it to yourself , get it !!!!'
.....sort of situations. I new I should have been a detective.
I believe so - was on channel 7 news.Quote:

He wuz framed... ;)
Lucky he didnt have a gifkins jig!:p
there is no way that was self inflicted.. I think apricot has hit the nail on the head. (so to speak)
Methamfetamine (sp).
This is why the Oz goverment has take steps to stop the mass sale of sudoefadrine(sp, hey I aint a freekin chemist ).
Dickheads who take Metham.....etc subject themselves to abuse.
There was a reported case where a man high on the drug cut off bits of his face and fed them to his dog.
If 12x3" nails doesnt stop them, then they arent going to feel pain if they attack you, and you hit them with a stick or what ever.
Al :eek:
Methamphetamine & pseudoephedrine, Al. So, I've had a chequered past. [shrug]
I can easily believe 'twas self-inflicted. Quite a few years ago, a mate of mine went on a whiz binge for about a week... and ended up in hospital with 1st degree burns over both arms after "burning off the ants" using cigarette lighters. While he was in care, we dropped in to his place to pick up a change of clothes for him and found four or five empty lighters lying on the floor of the lounge.
Don't know whether they were all full when he started, but they were all empty when he'd finished.
Know of a couple of other cases, but won't go there. Still, as I said, I can easily believe he did it...
I agree Al, looks drug related to me, and the implications of what that drug does to people is horrendous. when ambos are saying "bring back the good old days of heroin" thisstuff is way over the topQuote:

not heroin for sure. After a decent hit a good snooze is more likely the result than bangin' a dozen nails into your head. I would say it would be speed or acid that would cause that kind of insanity. I serously doubt is self inflicted.
TV news is always full of crap and you can't beleive half of it anyhoo. Specialy 7 and SMH.
I heard that from the angles or clotting or something that he would have had to reload the gun!! Arrghh.
:confused:
Why would you take this stuff?
There was a TV show about these drugs a couple of weeks ago - I dragged our 13 y.o. son in to watch it!
A couple of Sydney doctors were saying that they hated the drugs - it takes on average 6 or 7 people to restrain a user, and one common side effect is "hyper-sexuality". One notable case sat in the observation cell and masturbated for 16 hours non-stop!
I can believe that the nails were self-inflicted, after what I saw on this show.
How the hell did he he get nails on both sides of his head and not die.
16 hours non-stop! So THAT is why they take these drugs... ;)Quote:

Its not the drug that did the damage, it was the fella he owed tick to.
The fact that he survived must, surely, indicate that there are no vital organs inside his head.
I wonder where they went?
I reckon it's a bit of an optical illusion, looks like the nails may be pushed under the skin. The x-ray shows them close to the outside of the numbskull.
schit for brains obviously.Quote:

Consider this:-
I'm not a doctor, but I have had to read x-rays before, albeit on mechanical products being tested for faults. These two images are not true.
- No one survives 3" nails like this in their head especially multiple instances.
- Look closely at the supposed entry site, notice there is no damage to the bone. No staring or fracture from an entry.
- Consider the angles and the resulting comparison between front and side images. They don't correspond.
Doug and Dimsdale Pirana are suspects. They nailed my head to the floor once. They were tough guys but fair.
Yes - meth binging (try not sleeping for a week sometime and see how sane you are, then remember it's a psychosis inducing stimulant) can result in this sort of self harm.
Yes it did happen - check the sources:
Litvack, Z.N., Hunt, M.A., Weinstein, J.S. and West, G.A., Self-inflicted nail-gun injury with 12 cranial penetrations and associated cerebral trauma. Case report and review of the literature, Journal of Neurosurgery, 104:828–834, 2006.
Yes, pseudoephedrine (common brands include Sudafed) is a chemical precursor to ephedrine, which in turn is a chemical precursor to methamphetamine - you older folks might know it as "Ice". Sudafed is NOT a problem itself except that it can be used to make meth. Meth is cheaper, easier and safer to make than regular speed.
Yes it's the fastest growing recreational drug in Australia. Once off use involves a experience like a euphoric version of drinking WAY to much coffee (ie: people find it fun), prolonged binges and the associated sleep deprivation (ie: not sleeping for days) result in psychosis that becomes progressively more entrenched.
Yes speed freaks are scary - imagine all the worst bits of heroin: (often violent) crime to support purchase, chronic addiction, unsafe injection (though often smoked like crack as well) and add in aggression, paranoia and sleeplessness with constant agitation and you've got a friggin mess (Have known some people who've fallen to this rubbish).
