A doctor in Australia drilled into a twelve-year old's skull using a household drill (taken straight out of the maintenance room) in order to lessen pressure caused by internal bleeding suffered during a bicycle accident. The hospital had no neurological drills and no neurosurgeon, so general practitioner Dr. Robert Carson had to perform the surgery while being instructed by a neurosurgeon over the phone--this doctor told him things like where and how deep to drill (I imagine the answers to be 'the head' and 'not too deep.' Wow, those look dirtier than I realized they would.). The boy is fine and returned home on his thirteenth birthday.

that's awesome. One child who is not fine? The one whose "daddy ate [his] eyes." Seriously:

Oh my that is a really horrifying story. It reminds me of what Big Lurch did.
