Doctors in Poland has said that a man is now recovering from injury
after impaling himself through the head with a 15-inch piece of
wood. Medical staff said 40-year-old Kamil Podwinski fell onto the
spear-like piece of wood while working on his home in Konin, Poland and
the lumber penetrated his head just below his eye socket and stabbed
through to the back of his neck.

Sebastian Andrzejewski, a spokesman for the local fire
department, said firefighters were called in to help doctors reduce the
size of the splinter when medical staff discovered the injury would not
allow the man to fit into an X-ray machine.
“We got a call asking us to help remove a piece of wood from a man’s face,” Sebastian Andrzejewski told Central European News.
“When we arrived, it was sticking out at quite an angle and took
quite a bit of effort to shorten it without causing further damage,” the
spokesman said. “It wasn’t a case of just snapping off the end. It was
tricky, but we managed it and he didn’t complain or seem worried at
all.”
Podwinski was transferred to a specialty hospital in Poznan, where
the wood was completely removed. A spokesman said Podwinski is now
recovering from his injury.
“We were able to remove it and the man is now recovering,” the
spokesman said. “It’s a miracle it didn’t take the eye out or cause
serious damage.”
