Bullet in Head Won’t Keep Him Home

By Miss Cellania in Crime & Law, Health on Dec 21, 2008 at 6:59 am

A man who was shot in the head Tuesday is back at work already -with the bullet still in his skull! 74-year-old E.T. Strickland was hit during an armed robbery at a convenience store.

Strickland was told by his doctors not to have the bullet removed unless it was pressing on any arteries or causing health problems. He does plan to see a neurosurgeon though because he wants it taken out if possible.

Strickland says it hurts, but not enough to keep him from going to work. Link -Thanks, Geekazoid!

    I have to ask,

    Was he still able to phone home?

    He must love his job. Or else it’s just sad that a 74-year-old has to have one.

    Miss Cellania: that was exactly my thought, pretty messed up if he has to work. I hope he has health insurance!

    I’m taking this to work and post in the time clock room. Then, when someone asks to leave early or calls in sick, I’ll just refer them to the article!

    He’s not from the “Woe is Me” generation that’s for sure.
