This Chinese man had a headache, and doctors found a nail in his head

Doctors in central China found a 48mm nail in a factory worker’s skull after he complained of a headache last week, local media reported on Monday.

The 43-year-old man, surnamed Hu, works at a cement factory in Chongyang, Hubei province, according to Chutian Metropolis Daily.

But how the nail became lodged in his skull is a mystery to everyone, including Hu.

“I have no idea why there is a nail in my head,” he told the newspaper. “My job is to monitor the security surveillance cameras in the factory – it has nothing to do with nails.”

Hu said he had suffered from mild headaches last week and when the pain got worse on Friday he went to hospital.
