Ok guys this is not a new story but it was a really weird story that I just had to post. These are photos of this electrician Sambhu Roy's skull that he holds in his hands (a piece of his skull fell off in Kalyani, about 60 km (38 miles) north from the eastern Indian city of Kolkata July 5, 2006 due to his being electrocuted and he is holding the piece in his hands). gruesome !!!
Mr Roy got an electric shock while repairing a high voltage wire last October.
The doctor who treated him insists that his patient underwent an extremely rare medical phenomenon.
"When he came to us late last year, his scalp was completely burnt and within months it came off, exposing the skull," surgeon Ratan Lal Bandyopadhyay told Reuters.
"Later, we noticed that the part of his skull was loosening due to lack of blood supply to the affected area, which can happen in such extensive burn cases."
Dr Bandyopadhyay said the skull's inner covering and the membrane which helps produce bone were "miraculously unaffected", allowing fresh bone to grow.
"When the skull came off, I thought he will die," the doctor told Reuters, "but we noticed a new covering on his head forming and that might have pushed the 'dead skull' out."
Doctors say that 80% of the outer part of Mr Roy's skull has now hardened, and they expect him to be completely cured in about three months' time.
