Getting conked with beer bottle saves her life
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPLES, Fla. - A blow to the head with a beer bottle may have saved Sally Hampton's life.
While doctors were examining her after the barroom attack, they discovered a brain tumor that could have killed her.
The tumor was removed, and Hampton, 64, is fully recovered.
On Monday, she testified against her attacker, Fidel Trujillo, who was convicted of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison.
"It was one of the worst things that could happen to an elderly person, but in the end it saved her life," prosecutor Erik Lombillo said.
Hampton was attacked July 4 at a bar in Immokalee. According to prosecutors, she put her hand on Trujillo's shoulder to lead him out when the bartender wanted to close. Trujillo bashed her with a bottle and kicked her when she fell.
Had an experience similar to this "good news bad news" "by the way" case at my work late last year. A male patient in his 40's was involved in an MVA and hit his head on the windshield. A CT scan to r/o bleed instead showed a rather large meningioma which was successfully removed days later. Another patient inhaled some sawdust, resulting in sinus problems and a "woody smell" in his nose. An MRI revealed a pituitary tumor.
Anybody else seen anything like this?
