Doctors were shocked to discover a safety-pin in the sinus cavity of a 6-year-old girl.
Her parents had taken her to a doctor to be checked out following bouts of ill-health, doctors will soon be operating to remove the pin through the roof of her mouth, it is thought she must have put the safety pin up her nose at some point where it got lodged and later worked its way open.
For years, 6-year-old Alexis McCarter has been plagued by headaches, nose bleeds and ear infections. Her parents took her to doctor after doctor, but there wasn't a medical explanation for the problems until recently.

I can't believe none of the doctors were competent enough to do a CT scan... Pfft, thats nothing. I saw a story on the news about a 5yr old that got a FORK stuck in his nose. Beat that! Kids will shove just about anything up there.. My cousin put red hot candies up his nose as a child lol. Needless to say, hospital trip ensued.

Pffft! An open safety pin!!? Let's see her CLOSE IT, then it'll be unexplained. Hah! True. It would also probably make it easier to get the pin out.
