8 Most Random Emergency Ward Injuries You Won't Believe

1. Live Grenade Lodged In Unsuspecting Fishmonger's Jaw

Karla Flores was working, selling seafood on the streets of Culiacán, Sinaloa when she heard a loud bang. It knocked her down, she saw blood gushing from her face, then passed out. When she woke in hospital there was something lodged at the back of her mouth. It was a live grenade, fired at her with a grenade launcher. The hospital had been evacuated as a precaution and the least safe operation of all time was about to take place. Two explosives experts were called in to watch over, while four surgeons, brimming with cinema worthy heroism, stretchered her out into an open field to slice it out. It took four hours but the grenade was safely removed. Karla lost all her teeth on the grenade side and underwent three years of additional surgery. So the next time someone fires a grenade launcher at you, remember to scream we guess. It could save your life...but probably won't.
