Builder survives nailgun accident
May. 5th, 2004 04:06 pmA construction worker has miraculously survived after six nails were embedded in his skull.
Isidro Mejia, 39, was rushed to hospital after his nailgun accidentally went off, shooting nails into his head.

The neurosurgeon who operated on Isidro could not believe he was still alive.
"With injuries like that, he should have been dead."
He has been taken out of intensive care and although still groggy and on medication is expected to make a full recovery.
