A carpenter has miraculously lived to tell the tale of how he was shot in the heart with a nailgun.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old from Argentina had been working at a wooden pallet factory when a colleague unwittingly fired an 8cm nail into his chest.<\/p>\n
Arnaldo Medina, executive director at the El Cruce Nestor Kirchner Hospital, noted surgeons were not able to remove the nail straight away, as it was acting as a stopper and "preventing a haemorrhage".<\/p>\n
"With the nail visible, we performed a manual removal of the foreign body, which was embedded in the anterior right ventricular," he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Medina remarked the patient is already making good progress and so he has been taken off his ventilator.<\/p>\n
This is quite a scary story, but at least it seems as though there will be a happy ending. However, it still highlights how danger can be around the corner at any time, especially when your workmate fire nails at you!<\/p>\n
