Dr Jan Kochanowicz, one of the doctors who treated the man in the Polish city of Bialystok, said the man apparently fell and lost consciousness, but could not remember doing so.
When he regained consciousness he was at first aware only of pain in a hand before realising something else was wrong. He walked to his car, looked in a mirror and noticed the screwdriver, penetrating his forehead just above his right eye.
The screwdriver was lodged about two inches inside the man's forehead.
Dr Kochanowicz told the station TVN24 the man smoked a cigarette before calling a neighbor who got him to the hospital.
The screwdriver did not damage the man's eyes or brain.

TMJ Disorders and Treatments [ATTACH=CONFIG]152509[/ATTACH]
The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible (lower jawbone) to the temporal bone of the skull in front of the ear (Fig.). Within the joint formed by these two bones, there is a tiny disc of cartilage. The masseter and temporal muscles provide power to the joint, making it one of the most used joints in the body. The temporomandibular joint is responsible for all the movements of the jaw, including chewing, swallowing, breathing, and talking.
Disorders
The causes of temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ) are the same as for any other joint in the body. Arthritis, cartilage damage, dislocation, and injury are all possible sources of pain and dysfunction. The muscles that move the joint are also subject to fatigue, injury, and disease. Minor to severe and incapacitating pain can arise from the joint, the muscles, or both. Symptoms range from clicking or popping of the jaw, to headaches, facial pain, neck pain and stiffness, or a "locked" jaw. Some patients experience symptoms for many years and have no apparent loss of function, however, others slowly get worse and require treatment.
The causes of TMJ disorders are varied and can be difficult to determine. For patients who experience TMJ disorders due to an injury and trauma, it is clear that an injury has occurred, however, the injury does not always directly involve the joint. For example, a car accident that causes a whiplash injury to the head and neck can injure the temporomandibular joint. Aging can also affect the joint. One-third of the population over the age of 50 has signs of osteoarthritis in their joints, including the temporomandibular joint. Oral habits, however, are often the culprit for patients younger than 50. These patients usually discover the cause of their problem by examining their oral habits. Tongue thrusting, wide yawning, nail biting, gum chewing, or teeth grinding and clenching, are a few of the activities that place the jaw in an abnormal position and cause unnecessary wear and tear on the structures of the temporomandibular joint. The habitual action of the temporomandibular joint causes the same wear and tear injuries that are often seen in many active people, especially competitive athletes who damage joints with repetitive movements. TMJ syndrome can also be associated with bite problems, jaw alignment, tooth problems, and stress.
Treatment
The treatment options for patients with TMJ syndrome are varied and sometimes controversial. The first area of controversy is whether the condition is medical or dental in nature. This issue is even a topic of discussion with insurance companies. Dentists and oral surgeons provide patients with a good course of treatment, but ear, nose and throat physicians (otolaryngologists) also offer excellent TMJ treatment plans.
Treatment for TMJ syndrome is most successful when the symptoms are recognized early and treatment is sought quickly. The longer you wait to seek treatment, the longer it will take to resolve the problem. This is especially true if your jaw becomes disabled due to the dysfunction of the joint. Often, a health care provider can recommend a conservative treatment plan that may include resting the muscles of the jaw by eating soft foods and avoiding foods that require the jaw to open wide, such as corn on the cob, large sandwiches, or apples. You may be told to stop chewing gum, nail biting, and clenching or tensing the jaw. Treatments may also include applying moist heat to relax the muscles of the jaw for 30 minutes, twice a day or applying ice for 20 minutes, twice a day to reduce inflammation and soreness in the muscles of the jaw.
Your physician or dentist may try a variety of treatment options, including medication or prescribing an occlusal splint that allows the TMJ to improve while preventing additional wear and tear on the joint. Surgery to improve the alignment of the upper and lower teeth is an option, but it is usually reserved for advanced cases and when no other treatment plan has worked. Disorders of the TMJ are treatable and often can be resolved with heat and ice applications, a soft diet, anti-inflammatory medications, and changing a few habits.

gastroenteritus This is what I have been diagnosed with. This would explain the vomiting and inability to hold food or fluid.
The Dr. I saw asked 'if I had been naughty' on the weekend, to which I said yes I took some methydimethylamphetamine (said this way so my grandmother didn't kick my arse) and was told yeah, that may have something to do with it.
So now I know what wrong with me. And so do you.12
5 Days Detox – Natural Consumption Only So haven't taken any drugs for 8-10 days and in the last 7 days taken up exercise and biggest of all...
Complete natural healthy diet and no chemical consumption. Been eating Salads and Stews and fruit/veg, Lemon (for when I get sugar cravings, i'll eat chunks of lemon for a vitamin/small natural sour sugar fix.. it works!).. I made up that whole technique myself too :wink: (lemon - craving sugar).
Yeah so basically just been stuffing my face with goodness and wanted to wish myself happy day 5 of mega detox.
Probably will eat some crap at some point, but that'll be due to doing so well and then either choosing 'calories and food and chemicals in the food' over 'no calories no food and no chemicals'... Then i'll probably fall back into eating bits here n there if all goes to plan.. rather have a super good diet to start my fitness off so when i go back to bad food it's not that much of an issue cos i'm already heaaalthyyyyyy 123
