In 1863, Union soldier Jacob Miller of the 9th Indiana Infantry was shot in the forehead during the Battle of Chickamauga and mistakenly declared dead.
Despite the severe injury, his left eye dislodged and skull fractured, he regained consciousness, treated his wounds with a bandana, and crawled 15 miles to a field hospital.
Only part of the musket ball was removed, and the rest emerged years later. Miller had fought in multiple battles before Chickamauga and shared his story with a newspaper in 1911.
He lived with an unhealed wound until his death in 1917 at age 88, leaving behind a striking photo and an extraordinary tale of survival.

A proprietary blend of meth and PCP would be my guess.

My son just finished a very educational couple of months working in Walmart.
I think it's fair to say that his opinion of the human race as a whole has dropped somewhat.
