It hurt like crazy
by Claudia Sonea

Is the confession of Margaret Wegner, wife of German boxing coach Ulli Wegner, to the famous German newspaper Bild. Her case is unique and has recently come into media's attention. At the age of four she fell and her pencil went through her cheek and into her head. The medicine was not that evolved at that time and the pencil could not be removed by anyone and therefore she had to live with terrible headaches and nosebleeds until now, at the age of 59. Dr. Hans Behrbohm, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Berlin's Park-Klinik Weissensee, who also operated to remove bullets, glass from the brains of shooting victims, of people involved in car accidents, succeeded to remove almost all the pencil, except 0.79-inch piece that, according to him represents no danger to Wegner's health. Modern technology has prevailed again and a person life has been relieved of the burden. After enduring the sufferings induced by the pencil lodged in her head, the German woman finally got rid of it and despite the fact that her body developed 55 years with the pesky object, the doctor with the help of modern devices has managed to take it out. There is no doubt that miracles are possible and this world as twisted as it is, still reserves some wonderful surprises. Stay close, there are more intriguing news to come!
