Man Shot In The Head And Unknowingly Carries Bullet For Five Years.

Have you ever felt a knot or lump somewhere on your body that probably should not be there?  Most of the time it just goes away, or you find that it is typically nothing.  Well one unsuspecting person found that it was more than nothing and ultimately received the biggest surprise of his life.

Police in the western city of Bochum said doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of a mans head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.  Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year’s party “in 2004 or 2005”, but had forgotten about it because he had been “very drunk”, a police spokesman said.

The man told doctors that he “remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn’t really one for going to the doctor,”.  The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.

German Police said they were not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man’s head when a person celebrating New Year’s fired a gun in celebration.  “It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down,” the spokesman said.

Either way you look at it, how can someone walk around with a bullet in their head for over five years and not know it?  I guess he had better count his blessings because the situation could have been worse, wearing a hard hat seems to be the strategy for the next new years party.
