“Orphanage is scarier than a bullet, I survived it… I ask to tell my wife that I will come back alive.”
As it turned out, the bullet was in the hand of a neurosurgeon who had just removed it from the brain of a soldier. The seriously wounded man, whose bullet shattered the occipital bone and entered the brain with its fragments.
