Guest guest Posted July 13, 1999 Report Share Posted July 13, 1999 [uPI, Portland, Oregon]: Doctors at Portland's University Hospital said an Oregon man, shot through the skull by a hunting arrow, is lucky to be alive and will be released soon. Tony , 25, lost his right eye during an initiation into Mountain Men Anonymous, a men's rafting club in Grants Pass Oregon. A member tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow entered 's right eye instead. Doctors said that if the arrow had gone one millimeter to the left, a major blood vessel would have been severed and would have died instantly. Neurosurgeon Dr. Delashaw said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches brain, with the tip protruding at the rear of ' skull, yet somehow, it managed to miss all major blood vessels. Delashaw also said that if had tried to pull the arrow out, he surely would have killed himself. admitted that he and his friends had been drinking that afternoon. said, " I feel so dumb about this.
