Careful in The Garden

Recently a poor 48yr old woman in Torquey was pegging some washing on the line in her garden, only to become impaled upon a 15cm rusty nail.

Nice.

X-rays revealed that the nail had actually penetrated the woman’s foot by 7.5cm, and then bent once inside making it even more difficult for the doctors to remove it without performing minor surgery.

The woman was naturally rather shocked by the large object protruding fromjust below her big toe, but resisted the urge to pull it out thankfully as this would certainly have done more harm than good.

Torquay isn’t usually such a dangerous place, indeed it actually boasts a wealth of gorgeous Torquay hotels, but on this occasion the person in question was rather unfortunate to experience the rusty end of the nail.
