Man paralyzed but alive after 7 steel bars pierce his neck
Online Edition
A MAN in southwest China’s Sichuan Province survived after seven steel bars pierced his neck, but doctors said he was paralyzed from the waist down, South China Metropolis Daily reported today.
Long Chaoqi, 40, was straightening the steel bars at a work site in Luzhou City on October 8, but seven bars fell off the machine and pierced the left side of his neck.
The bars protruded from his neck about a third of a meter, the report said.
After six-hour-long operation, all of the bars were removed and he was no longer in danger, said Wang Qing, surgeon at the hospital affiliated with the Luzhou Medical School.
There was no feeling in Long’s left arm or his legs when he was sent to the hospital. But he didn’t lose consciousness and was in the stable condition. The surgery was difficult since it was in the vicinity of major blood vessels, Wang said.
Because doctors couldn’t use imaging to get an adequate view of blood vessels in the area, they had to open up his neck to see exactly where the bars were located.
While the bars caused serious nerve damage, they “were found to be at the edge of an artery and didn’t cause severe harm” to it, Wang said.
