Doctor uses hammer to pull nail from man's head
A Kansas retiree still suffers from some minor headaches but otherwise is fine after a friend accidentally fired a 2 1/2-inch nail into his head during a home fix-it job on Friday.

George Chandler, 60, chuckled as he described what happened on Wednesday. But it might have been no laughing matter: Doctors told Chandler he could have been paralyzed if the nail fired into his head by an air compressor struck his skull only a millimeter away from where it did.

"That's the nail ... It's got a little blood on it," Chandler told TODAY's Ann Curry during a live interview in New York.
