Polizist überlebt Messerattacke mit massiver Gehirnbeteiligung – Luckiest Unlucky Man

“He is probably the luckiest unlucky man you could ever have,” Dr. Bederson said at a news conference in New York.

The folding knife’s three-inch blade passed half an inch below structures that control motor functions and another half-inch from structures that control vision. It touched the nerve that gives sensation to the face and nicked, but did not penetrate, a major artery, Dr. Bederson said.

“It was a millimeter from everything; it was ridiculous,” he said later in an interview. “You don’t want to overemphasize, but he was at death’s door. He was minutes away from crashing.”

Ich finde solche neurochirurgischen Geschichten immer unglaublich faszinierend – der Mann hatte ein verdammtes Messer in seinem Kopf stecken und wird wieder vollständig am täglichen Leben teilhaben können.
