When Olivia Smith fell from a chair, the pencil she was using quickly became a dangerous weapon.
The pencil went through her eye cavity and lodged itself in her brain, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
The pencil pierced through both of Olivia’s brain hemispheres, and she had to be flown to Boston Children’s Hospital via helicopter. More than 50 doctors worked on her case, and they all agreed the trajectory of the pencil ‘narrowly’ missed the parts of her brain that could have led to death or permanent damage.
Can you think of people doing this sort of damage happening with a computer keyboard or a touchscreen? Really we’re better than this, we live in a digital age where manual writing implments are no longer needed, and frankly should be banned!
IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE!!
