Idiot of the Week Number 3: Patrick Lawler
Patrick Lawler was just a man with tools. A nail gun in fact. A nail gun that sent a 4 inch nail into his skull without Patrick realising it.
Fortunately for him, his wife worked for a dentist, and when Patrick complained of pain in his mouth, she arranged for him to have an x-ray. There it was, in black and white. A spike through the head.
He should have shot himself with the nail gun in the UK. We have the NHS over here. But since he lives in the US and has no health insurance, his little mistake with the nail gun is going to cost him $100,000. In return for paying his medical bills, he gets to keep the nail, which he says he is going to display in his living room.
Stick with a hammer, Patrick.
