Pakistan: Police hunt for 'healer' who hit nail into woman's head
bbc ^

Posted on 02/12/2022 9:07:56 PM PST by BenLurkin

The woman arrived at a hospital in Peshawar after trying to extract the 5cm (two-inch) nail with pliers.

Initially, she told doctors that she had carried out the act herself, but later admitted a faith healer who had claimed he could guarantee she gave birth to a baby boy was responsible.

Police began investigating after x-ray images of the injury appeared online.

Dr Haider Khan, a staff member at the Lady Reading Hospital, said the woman was "fully conscious, but was in immense pain," when she arrived seeking treatment.

They can send him over so he can visit Biden.

If she willingly allowed this quack to attempt this treatment on her, it’s probably not the first time she’s had nails driven into her head.

Nail in head “guarantees a baby boy.” Sign me up. How much does it cost to get that done? Does it hurt?

Interviewer: I’ve been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.

Stig: No. Never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to buy his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.

Interviewer: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.

Stig: (pause) Oh yeah, he did that.

Interviewer: Why?

Stig: Well he had to, didn’t he? I mean there was nothing else he could do, be fair. I had transgressed the unwritten law.

Interviewer: What had you done?

Stig: Er... well he didn’t tell me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that’s good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn’t *want* to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. He’d do anything for you, Dinsdale would.

Interviewer: And you don’t bear him a grudge?

Stig: A grudge! Old Dinsy. He was a real darling.

Interviewer: I understand he also nailed your wife’s head to a coffee table. Isn’t that true Mrs O’ Tracy?

Mrs O’ Tracy: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Stig: Well he did do that, yeah. He was a hard man. Vicious but fair

The article doesn’t tell us what happened to that lady.
Did the doctors have to knock her out, then open her head up like a walnut, so that nail could be pulled out?

Was a suction device used?

Did she get back home in time to make dinner for her husband?

The Three Stooges used to make episodes like that.
Moe would place Curly’s head in a vise and squeeze his skull until the bones started breaking. It was hilarious!

Hard to believe somebody would willingly let a “healer” drive a nail into their head...but becomes easier to believe when I remember there are those that pay surgeons to mutilate their genitals in order to “change” their sex.

I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. It was as though my… head were in a vise. I thought it would go away — it hasn’t. I took some aspirin — it did nothing. But I decided to continue with the show anyway. Pardon me, what? There’s a clamp on my head? Aw, those “Saturday Night” people! They didn’t even tell me! I went through make-up and everything, and nobody said a word!

I once shot myself with a Paslode nailer into my forearm. And again into my thigh. Not on the same day though.

That crap hurts.
