WTF! Internal decapitation? Can you say ouch? (pic)
 

I pray to baby jesus that this never happens to me! Holy shit! How much would it suck to have your skull rip off but inside. I guess it's better than a normal decapitation :1orglaugh

CNN Link
• Woman, 30, survives "internal decapitation," separation of skull from spine
• Skin, spinal cord, other internal organs remained intact; she's not paralyzed
• Surgeons attached metal halo with screws in head, neck to minimize movement

Here's a picture I found from some news site of the victim, er... survivor...

well that heal eventually ?

shit i cant imagine having to live like that. :(

damn, that's so disturbing man...can't live with that kind of life either...

She doesn't have the halo on her and she's not paralyzed. She is however now crosseyed.

Think so Tony - surgeons strengthened the spine break and she no longer needs to wear the headclamp - but very lucky!!! *lol*

Anyone know a good surgeon in Califorina that can do this?

She looks happy :)

If the technology doesn't exist today to repair her, it will inside the next 15 years.

Sucks, for sure... but probably not nearly as bad as the external variety.

that was shit man... how bout her sex life?

"My skull slipped off my neck about five times," Malloy said. "Every time they tried to screw this to my head, I would slip."
She's screwed (no pun intended) if this is any indication! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Only if Denise Crosby wills it so.

They found TD's replacement?

j/k...

Jesus, It's amazing she lived thru this! I couldn't imagine.

"I had a fractured skull, swollen brain stem, bleeding in my brain, GI tube in my stomach, can't swallow, and nerve damage in my eyes (because they cross)," said Malloy.

I saw a documentary on cable TV about miraculous survivals from severe accidents and there was a kid that was hit by a car and he also got an internal decapitation. Rescue people did their job ok and he is on the long recovery process. He already can walk by himself.

thats fucked... :Oh crap

oh man! that's pretty horrible...

I don't like that pic...

I wonder how much pain she went through.
