The 21-year-old partied on the beach and hung out with friends for four days before realising that he had a bullet lodged in his brain.
A 21-year-old Brazilian man was stunned after finding a bullet lodged in his head after thinking he was hit by a stone during a New Year's Eve party. According to the New York Post, Mateus Facio was partying at a beach in Rio de Janeiro when he felt an object hit him, but he shrugged it when his head stopped bleeding. For the next four days, Mr Facio continued partying with friends without the faintest idea of the severity of his situation.
"Little did I know that all this would happen," the 21-year-old recalled, as per the Post. "I thought it was a stone, a bad joke, that someone picked up and threw a rock," he said. "If there was a noise, I could imagine what it could be. But I didn't hear anything, it was completely normal," the Brazilian, who studies medicine in school, added.
The 21-year-old partied on the beach and hung out with friends for four days before realising that he had a bullet lodged in his brain. It was only when he returned home that he sought medical attention. On his journey back home, Mr Facio said that his arms and fingers had stopped moving normally, causing him to repeatedly stop driving.
