Man Hammers Nail Into Head After “Hearing Voice”

The resident of a Russian village has hammered a nail into his own head.

While alone at home 37-year-old Yuri Dedov took a hammer and drove a 122-millimeter nail into his forehead all the way down to the nailhead, Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper wrote. When Dedov’s mother came home, she found her son had a fever. Upon seen the nail in his head, she called for an ambulance.

Dedov was taken to hospital and operated on. After the successful operation, he said that he had heard a voice saying “Take a hammer and do it.”

Neurosurgeon Yuri Tanvel, who operated on Dedov, said a piece of iron had almost gone through the latter’s head and stopped near the eyeball. “If its trajectory had been 15 degrees different, he would have died immediately. As it is, no vital function was violated. The main thing is the nail did not reach the brain,” the paper quoted the doctor as saying.
