Yes, bullets in the brain can cause headaches

[giza]

 
A Chinese grandmother went to the hospital with chronic headaches. The cause? A bullet lodged in her brain since age 13.

If life is anything like The Simpsons, and it is, then once the object is removed from her brain she should be eligible to join Mensa (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22).

If life is anything like House, the bullet has nothing to do with her headaches. :)

The tag "wtf" is appropriate for this. Wow. That sucks for her.

Hmm...and she never thought to remove it before then LOL

manage to remove a bullet from your brain without damage and you'll get my congratulations.. ;)

What I meant was, why wasn't it removed years ago when it first happened?

[mapdark.livejournal.com]

I would think it was either IMPOSSIBLE .. or too costy or she did'nt even KNOW it was there..

Which brings me to my next question....How can you get shot in the head and *not* know it?

I can totally understand it being too costly to remove a bullet, but to not know you got shot...

my guess would be she knew she was shot but probably thought at the time it was just superficial..

and remember she's over 80 and chinese..

there,s the possibility she was living in a village or something and they did'nt have the technology to see that she had a bullet in her brain..

and the thought that someone could EVEN survive with one is something we would'nt even consider..

so I guess circumstances made it so..
