    On a tangential note. Jack Black was great as a strung out nurse in Jesus’s Son.

    “Patient complains of knife in brain.” “Stabbing headache?”

    Damn, added insult to injury!

    “You’re so dumb you got stabbed in the brain and it didn’t cause any damage!”

    Jokes aside, depression is awful and in hope they can get help.

      I have read about a guy who got a piece of rebar through his brain, survived, functioned, and even improved his outlook on life through such an event … And while looking him up, I found that it’s a surprisingly common thing (I mean, compared to what I expected).
