Amazing (and Disturbing) X-Ray Images

The images in this post are somewhat disturbing, so be warned. Miraculously, all of the patients in these x-ray's survived, with most making complete recoveries.

This x-ray shows the stomach of an Israeli woman who swallowed a fork while trying to catch a bee that flew into her mouth.

A schoolboy archer in China had an narrow escape after being shot with an arrow through the eye by a classmate.

This poor fellow didn't heed is parents' advice about not playing with firecrackers.

The x-ray of Ron Hunt's skull shows an 18-inch-long drill bit that pierced Hunt's eye socket and went through his head, just nudging his brain. Hunt, a construction worker, fell off a ladder and landed on the drill he was using at a construction site.

This X-ray shows a 3-inch nail in the head of a Houston carpenter. The nail missed half a dozen vital areas by an eighth of an inch. 

When this 12-week-old terrier was reluctant to curl up, his owner knew something was wrong and took him to get checked out. An x-ray revealed a seven-inch kitchen knife in his stomach.

An X-ray showing a pair of surgical scissors in the abdomen of 69-year-old Pat Skinner in Sydney, Australia in 2004. Skinner had an operation in May 2001, but continued to complain of intense pain. it wasn't until she received this x-ray 18 months later that the scissors were discovered.

 

Six nails were embedded in the skull of construction worker Isidro Mejia, 39, after an industrial incident caused a nail gun to shoot nails into his head and brain on April 19, 2004. Five of the six nails, shown above in an X-ray from Providence Holy Cross Hospital, were removed in surgery that day, and the sixth was removed from his face on April 23, after the swelling went down.

 

Patient Shafique el-Fahkri had a miraculous escape after being speared through the eye with a CHAIR LEG in a nightclub attack.

Yorkshire terrier puppy Charlie was rushed to the vet's after getting a Xmas decoration lodged in his throat.

An x-ray of 17-month old Nicholas Holderman, who fell on a set of car keys. Miraculously, he recovered completely within 2 months of the accident.

These X-ray images show a teenage boy with a 5-inch knife was plunged into his head. He received the wound when trying to stop a friend from being robbed at the bus stop and was lucky to survive the wound after being rushed to the hospital in Walworth, south London, in November 2007.

This poor guy was shot in the face at close range, but his nose stopped the bullet, saving his life.

  1. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

  2. F***ing metal.

  3. I have seen most of these before, but it serves well to show the resilience of the human body.

    We are not as delicate as we think.

  4. How did Richard Gere escape this slideshow?

  5. Guy 1: “I have over 50 piercings in my face and ears. I’m so hardcore! What about YOU?”

    Guy 2: “Umm… I’ve got surgical tools in my pelvic region and a bullet in my nose…”

    Guy 1: “Whoa… that’s hardcore.”

  6. brutal!

  7. This is really awesome and strange at the same time. im glad these people survived…and yes, the body is one of the most amazing designs ever!

  8. When will the attack of poor quality photoshops end? I am so sick and tired of seeing these pathetic images posted all over the internet. Douchebags – all of you all.

  9. @ray: what’s your problem? The one with the drill is quite funny, and i kind of like the idea of some thug casually sticking a chef’s knife through a cm of forehead.

  10. omg this has to be photo shopped or something thats kool yet weird!! lol :) oww :(

  11. most of these were on that “world’s most dangerous” show.

  12. These aren’t photoshopped. I’ve seen several of them on the news.

    An alien concept to you, Ray. Instead of just trolling around the internet, try checking your facts.

  13. omgwtfbs!

    photoshopped, all of them, thats not even a real guy in the first photo, im not even real, this post was photoshopped… everything on the internet = photoshopped fake!!!

    FACT.
    FTW.

  14. Above post was clear photoshop copypasta’d from this source – http://xraytechschools.info/blog/amazing-and-disturbing-x-ray-images

  15. Uh-Oh Hot Dog!

  16. I don’t care if they’re photoshopped or not really, still an interesting post. Check out phineas gage to see that people CAN survive this kind of punishment.

  17. What is wrong with you people. Do you just go around looking for pics to criticize?

    I don’t know about all of them, but I watched a documentary on this and several of those people appeared in it telling their stories.

    You losers need to stop being so cynical and critical… maybe try getting a girlfriend? Don’t do the online dating though, their pics are probably photoshopped.

  18. the most fake collection of photographs I’ve ever seen.

  19. Having been a registered X-ray Tech over 20+ years, I see this stuff infrequently, and have my own little collection of interesting films. Never forget-> people do the oddest things, so there is no need of ‘Shopping for this type of thing. Trust me, people are strange, LOL

    Alex

  20. wow.thes are on the news

  21. Shopped!!!

  22. br00tal

  23. some of these are pretty sick but i have also seen some of these before!

  24. Ok you guys all saying shopped……. read these and it’ll be proved it isn’t shopped.

    http://www.sierrasun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030829/NEWS/308290101

    and…. “Most Dangerous” had this man on there show, and they had an actual picture of him, conscious, with the drill in his head. Wow, and if you can prove, and I mean PROVE it to me that these are photo-shopped, then tell me……

  25. I am an xray tech [RT ®], and these things DO really happen. Ask anyone who works a metropolitan trauma center. You can’t hide from xrays!

  26. while working as a nurse I saw a suicidal pscyh patient’s xray…she had managed to swallow a dozen or so OPEN safety pins which made for a Bizarre xray

  27. yeah so i know for a fact that they are not ALL photoshopped… nicholas holderman is a friend of the family and this actually happened.

  28. Why can’t all of you screaming “Photoshopped” just believe it?

    I’m a graphics kid & say they’re not Photoshopped. There are too many little details that most prank Photoshoppers would either miss or just not bother with.

  29. oh yeah, well i fell of my bike once and go a wicked scratch on my elbow! beat that.

  30. Rofl

  31. awesome pictures. no matter where you are on the internet, someone will always be claiming photoshop. People have got so caught in in computers, they forgot all about reality. Fact is most of these were on a tv i’ve seen. And that was years ago. The drill one i remeember specifically

  32. Oh, COME ON. I’ve seen all of these before either on the Internet or TV. They’re REAL. Get over yourselves, trolls.

  33. has anybody seen the xray of the girl giving a blow job. its funny

  34. The construction worker who fell on the drill and took the drill through his eye was on the Discovery Health channel on tv. Look it up. It’s amazing.

  35. Last dude must of had a big nose…. Also thank someones god for hospitals.

  36. Fucking Mental.

  37. WOW ouch thats gotta be a pain in the ass:)

  38. these all suck!!!

  39. Hahhhaahhaha.
    (: none of these are Photoshopped. Would you like somebody to do this to you to prove it?
    I’ve just spent a week at a medical conference where were told stuff about these cases.

  40. How the hell does your nose stop a bullet?
    The path of the bullet hit a quarter of an inch of bone, some cartilage, and skin…

  41. I think it’s already confirmed that these are NOT photoshopped, and are unofficially ‘FUCKING METAL’. Drill-bit guy should be frontman for a metal band.

  42. this is not cool

  43. that is crazy stuff.
    metaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

  44. Guy sent from twitter…
    Sort of wish I hadn’t seen them. Pretty disturbing,
    indeed.

  45. Totally photoshopped. I am a vet tech and have seen plenty of real xrays. If that one of the dog with the knife in his “stomach” were real he would have intestines spilling into his chest cavity as you can plainly see it in the lung area. So cmpletely fake.

  46. I will concede that some of them are real but not all of them.

  47. ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh N lolz

  48. these photos are all fake. photoshopping an x-ray is so easy. i do it all the time. one of my hobbies is posting photoshopped images on the internet and claiming theyre real. see if you can find the rest of my photoshopped images! theyre all over the internet!

  49. That’s brutal.

  50. TOO COOL!
    LOOK TO THE ONE WITH A PIPE IN HIS FACE dies from laughter

  51. most of these peoples stories can be seen all over tv…these are not photoshopped…some people…

  52. Why are people so quick to judge if pictures lately are photoshopped or not?? Seriously who cares..if something makes for good viewing, shouldn’t that be all that matters? Geez, get over yourselves ;o)

  53. Truth is stranger than photochop. I am a radiologist and get paid to see these films live. I have an entire collection of pelvic films with foreign bodies inserted into body cavities, from broomsticks to bowling pins to army helmets.

  54. Come on people, don’t you all have better things to do than debate whether these pics are photo shopped? Seriously,way to take the fun out of everything!

  55. Photoshopped or not these are seriously weird.

  56. Thanks for the info. I never know X-Ray could be that ‘informative’.

  57. i’m systematically stuffing grapenuts cereal into the head of my erect penis. i’m going to attempt to jack off, have my load mix with the grapenuts, and shoot a granola bar out when i cum

  58. Brutal stuff. I’m not sure if I should be considering these people lucky or unlucky.

  59. Hi man great collections.

  60. omfg…. thats unbelievable…

  61. Haha, the people who are claiming these have been ‘photoshopped’ have no knowledge of anything medical, that’s for sure. I find the post by ‘ldp’ extremely funny. You must be horrible at your job. Oh look, you didn’t even put your real name. I suppose you must know you’re an idiot. I’m so confident about the authenticy of these X-Rays, here you go:
    xox_emo-roxas_xox@hotmail.com
    Go ahead and try to challenge me.

  62. i love how we can’t have a single fucking post without someone claiming that every single picture is photoshopped. THANK you for being a fucking moron and wasting everyone’s air by simply existing. who in the fuck cares if they’re “shopped” or not…go back to your damn hole and fester…

  63. Your comments are better than the photos !

  64. I’m sorry but A LOT of these look FAKE!!

  65. cool!

  66. manyout there think that we are soooo vonurable to these things and you would think it would kill us, aint true…. this all proves it…:)

  67. Breamma, you flunked English 101, yes?

  68. Guy 1: “I have over 50 piercings in my face and ears. I’m so hardcore! What about YOU?”

    Guy 2: “Umm… I’ve got surgical tools in my pelvic region and a bullet in my nose…”

    Guy 1: “Whoa… that’s hardcore.”

    We are pretty delicate, this just shows how damn lucky some people can be.

  72. I THINK ALL THESE POSTINGS BEEN SHOPPED AND NOT WHAT U REALLY SAID

  75. For the 3D skull..you can do it with 3D program.And for x-ray, So easy! Just put something on your skin and x-ray. Same result is happen on female chest x-ray if she has bra..It look like she has wires inside her body.

  76. i love seein shit like this but dudue i bet that hurt a lot

  79. i know at least most of these are not photo shopped. I’ve seen the baby with the keys stuck in his eyes on Oprah and a few others of these on reliable television shows.

  81. \m/ yea baby \m/
