Like I said – China and workplace safety don’t seem to get along very well. And with all those pesky steel roads bouncing around, looking for a spare eye to leap into like fruit flies on a sunny day, an impalement is just a stone throw away.

I’d hate to get my head impaled in China. It looks as though the treatment consisted of cutting the rod as close to the head as possible before sending the patient on his marry way. He can now move to America, change his name to Rod Spike and talk jokes about a guy who walked into a bar…

Professionalism of hospital staff is just about as stellar – dude is sitting there with 2 meters of steel sticking out of his head, he’s got to hold his own oxygen mask on his face all the while the staff are busy taking pictures of him, instead of making ready to treat the patient. It almost looked as if they were pointing their cell phones to use the rod as a reception booster antenna.

This may be one of those rare videos in which the eye did not survive.
