En soldat med en 20mm granat siddende i hovedet.

https://heritageblog.rcpsg.ac.uk/2015/1 ... -the-face/Whilst researching our former President, Professor Thomas Gibson (1915-1993), for a display marking 100 years since his birth, I came across an entry in our museum catalogue for a 20-mm Cannon Shell. Tom Gibson was a renowned plastic surgeon and this seemed like quite an unusual item to be linked to him. After a little more digging around, I found that the cannon shell had actually been removed in surgery by Gibson during WW2 – Gibson had been Captain of a Royal Army Medical Corp maxillofacial surgery team.
Patienten søgte selv læge på grund af en læsion i kinden, men havde ellers ikke specielt slemme smerter.
Inde i hovedet på ham sad der et 20 mm projektil, som forsigtigt blev fisket ud.
Jeg tror nærmest det sad det eneste sted hvor det kunne, uden at lave alvorlige skader på ham.
Håber han købte en lotto kupon på vejen hjem
