Headache? That’s Because You’ve Got a Bullet in Your Brain!



Got a persistent headache? This 77-year-old Chinese grandma did, until doctors finally found the reason: a bullet lodged in her brain!

Jin Guangying, 77, of Shuyang town, Jiangsu province, went to Shuyang Leniency Hospital for an X-ray, inset, only to be told the cause of her pain was an injury inflicted when she was 13.

She was shot in 1943 during the Second World War by the invading Japanese when she was taking supplies to her guerrilla father.

After herbal treatment from her mother, the war wound was forgotten - until surgeons plucked the rusty bullet from her skull.
