The shocking discovery: On Nov. 25, the man sought medical help at the Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi, where he complained of severe headaches, along with fluid discharge and loss.
CT scans revealed tension pneumocephalus, a “very rare” and potentially life-threatening condition causing increased intracranial pressure. Doctors, led by Dr. Nguyen Van Man, found that the source of the issue was a pair of chopsticks that had penetrated his nose and entered his brain.
A trip down memory lane: The unnamed patient recalled being involved in a fight five months earlier when he was drinking. Although his memory was hazy, he vaguely remembered being stabbed in the face, possibly with the chopsticks. But when he visited the hospital after the altercation, medical professionals found no chopsticks or irregularities in his nose. Regardless, the patient suspected that the utensils were lodged in his nose during the fight and had remained undiscovered in his skull.
Sometimes I think I’m having a bad day, but then I realize I don’t have chopsticks up my brain.
He didn’t think he had either.
True.
But Im fairly sure I haven’t recently been drunk enough not to remember having chopstick forcefully inserted up my nose and into my brain.
Then again, I guess nothing is ever 100% certain.
I feel for this guy. The worst headaches I ever felt were those few months I had a pair of chopsticks in my brain. It’s not half as fun as it sounds.
What the actual fuck?
I’d like to add something of worth but just… what?!?
This would have made “That’s the Craziest F—ing Thing I’ve Ever Heard” on the old Colbert Report, no question.
I’ve been drunk before, but I don’t think I will ever be stabbed in the brain during a chopstick altercation and not remember it levels of drunk.
The brain stabbing probably didn’t help his memory either
If you’ve not been drunk enough to wake up in the morning wondering how you got a thumb tack in your perineum then you haven’t been trying hard enough.
Realizing the chopsticks probably weren’t black when they went in 😖
This guy has a drinking problem or evil friends.
“a fight”
He stuck those chopsticks in his nose himself, probably during a desperate act of sexual gratification. He probably tripped and they got jammed up there during the fall, and he was too embarrassed to go to the hospital until he couldn’t take the pain anymore
Love that people are taking your comment seriously enough to downvote
Slurped too hard while eating noodles. Easily done.
Hey look, we happen to be sharing a time line with a guy who is experiencing quantum immortality first hand.
Sounds like this dude has a serious drinking issue
So you are saying we have increased the Vietnamese man’s killing power?
If he can remember who he was in a fight with then they’re in for a world of pain
Chopstick John Wick?
