I'm surprised it never got infected.

What is that on his forehead. I work in a hospital, and don't recognize it.

The item on his head is a stick on thermometer. Lets the staff check the patient's temp without having to stick the thermometer in there. Saves costs by eliminating the sheath that you have to put on the probe-type thermometers. Most ERs have gone to the IR read it from the skin, but that is not accurate enough IMHO, and the roll-on type is perfect for cross-contamination, so that isn't very good either. Just my $0.02 :D

I'm also surprised it didn't get infected, the thing on is forehead looks like a temp monitor.

Pretty amazing that thing stayed in there as long as it did, he must not fly much.

He should have noticed it when he made a left turn.

Another argument for the truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

The mans body defense mechanism worked pretty slow this time. :yikes:
