A schoolgirl is recovering in a hospital in the Philippines after spending almost a week with a pair of scissors stuck in her head.
Nicole Raga was arguing with her brother over a pencil when the younger lad struck her on the head with his backpack containing the sharp object.
The pair of scissors that were sticking out from the bag became lodged painfully in the 9-year-old's skull at the family home last week.
Her father Rene saw the scissors sticking out of his daughter's head and rushed her to Hospital, where she was kept under supervision. But sadly her family could not pay the 30,000 PHP (£421) for emergency surgery, so she had to wait nearly a week lying on a hospital bed with the scissors still lodged in her skull.
