Doctor Saves Boy With Household Drill

Richard Dean Anderson, the MacGyver himself, would be proud of Dr. Rob Carson after he used a household drill to save a boy's life. The 12-year-old fell off his bike and hit his head. His mother took him to the hospital when he complained of a headache and an hour later he began to have spasms and go unconscious. The doctor realized that the boy was suffering from acute pressure on the brain from internal bleeding, and got a DeWalt drill from the hospital maintenance room to drill a hole in the boy's skull to relieve the pressure. The boy's father said, "Dr Carson came over to us and said, 'I am going to have to drill into Nicholas to relieve the pressure on the brain — we've got one shot at this and one shot only.'"
