An Ontario woman had the shock of her life when a car key thrown by a friend pierced her cheek near her eye.
Renée Lariviere, 24, tried to grab her car keys but instead accidentally stuck them an inch and a half down her nasal cavity.
The young woman from Sudbury told the Chron she couldn’t feel the pain at first because of the adrenaline.
“I didn’t care about a scar back then. With good care, the scars disappear. My concern was more [de savoir] if I lost my eyesight,” explained the key’s victim.
Transported to the hospital by ambulance, the young woman said that the doctors, who came from several departments to see the victim, could not believe their eyes.
The surgeons managed to pull the key out of the cave, then sew up the wound. Visibly happy in her misfortune, the young woman escaped without a visible scar.
In addition, Renée Lariviere said that one of the doctors used the previous photos of this accident to prove to his students that “anything can happen”.
“I think we’re so busy with our daily lives that we forget that anything can happen every day and that we can’t come out of it badly,” she confided.
