Man Gets Screwdriver Lodged 5 cm Into His Forehead

The 25-year-old man from Poland was doing some DIY in the garden when the freak accident happened. He fell with such force the tool was wedged 5cm into his forehead, narrowly missing his brain. Detecting a strange object near his eye, the man - who has chosen not to reveal his identity - took a look in his car mirror when he noticed the screwdriver lodged in his head. But bizarrely he chose to have a cigarette before asking his neighbour to take him to hospital. It took doctors at University Hospital in Bialystok three hours to remove the implement from his head which narrowly missed his vital organs. And remarkable he now well on his way to making a full recovery. He said: 'I don't remember what happened that day, at some point when I was working in my garden I slipped and fall down. 'Next thing I remember it was my hand hurting and some weird thing near my eyes. I went to my car to check in the mirror what's that and I saw the screwdriver in my head. 'I was shocked. I smoked a cigarette to calm down and then I went to call my neighbour to take me to hospital.'
