For girls with long hair, it is common to use shark clips to groom their hair. But behind this cheap, beautiful jewelry, there is a hidden crisis.
Before the National Day, Mr. Hu and his girlfriend Xiao Liu in Chengdu accidentally fell while riding an electric car, because his girlfriend wore a shark clip on his head and his head hit the ground, resulting in a fractured skull.
On the 15th, when the Red Star News reporter contacted Mr. Hu, he said that his girlfriend Xiao Liu was still in a coma and had a fever that did not go away.

On October 15, when the Red Star News reporter contacted Mr. Hu, her girlfriend Xiao Liu was still in a fever and unconscious. Unable to pay more for medical expenses, Mr. Hu took his girlfriend back to his home in Jintang County on October 9.
Mr. Hu recalled to reporters that the incident occurred at around 9 p.m. on September 21, when they were riding an electric scooter to go home after a dinner with friends. In the back seat of the car, Mr. Hu's girlfriend was in a good mood because of the party and suddenly hugged his upper body, and Mr. Hu did not maintain the balance of the car for a while, and there was a bump, so the two fell from the car to the ground.
Mr. Hu suffered a slight contusion on the right side of his waist, but Xiao Liu's back of the head was bleeding, especially the hairpin that was sandwiched in the back of her head. Subsequently, the 120 ambulance quickly sent Xiao Liu to the First People's Hospital of Jintang County after receiving the news. After the initial diagnosis, Xiao Liu suffered a serious brain injury and was immediately pushed into the operating room for surgical rescue. "I have had two craniotomy surgeries, and I have been in the ICU intensive care unit after the operation, and the person is in a severe coma, and the doctor said that he may become vegetative." Mr. Hu told reporters.
Medical Certificate
According to the footage of the road section provided by Mr. Hu, it can be seen that the road section is straight and smooth, and Mr. Hu said that his speed at that time was about 20 km/h, which is not fast. He said that when his girlfriend fell, the back of his head was hit by a shark clip in a hard hair accessory, resulting in injuries.
The reporter learned from the First People's Hospital of Jintang County that after treatment, Xiao Liu's condition was relatively poor and he had been in a coma, and his diagnosis showed that "the patient's condition is still critical, and the doctor's instructions and recommendations are to continue treatment." Xiao Liu said that about 100,000 yuan had been spent on treatment at the hospital, and there was about 300,000 yuan for follow-up treatment, which was very stressful for Mr. Hu, who worked as a food delivery. And Xiao Liu was born in an ordinary family, the eldest of the three children in the family, and now there is an accident, and the family can only borrow money for treatment. Recalling the bits and pieces of the two, Mr. Hu regretted and said: "She is only 28 years old, and I will always take care of her until she wakes up." ”
At present, the girl's family and friends have recorded videos in the hope of waking the girl up.

Doctor reminds: pay attention to these conditions
The reporter checked the information and learned that the shark clip is a kind of headgear with serrated teeth that can stably clip the hair. It is made of many different materials, such as plastic, metal, acrylic, etc., but each one is particularly hard. In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of Internet celebrity sharks pinching people.
Xu Xuejun, chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery of Chengdu Second People's Hospital, said that because of the accidental injury of wearing a shark clip, it is occasionally encountered in clinical practice. Not only shark traps, but also gravel or sharp steps such as hitting the ground with your head when you fall to the ground, can cause this kind of serious trauma. "If a car starts suddenly or if you fall off a bicycle, the shark clip focuses on the back of the head, which can cause a person to fracture the skull or puncture the scalp and enter the head. Compared with falling on a flat road, this type of injury has a small force area, strong pressure, and is very violent when impacted. Xu Xuejun said that in his impression, there are cases where patients die directly because of similar accidents.
Xu Xuejun introduced that the human head is divided into the brain and cerebellum, and in the impact, the corresponding position of the shark clip is the cerebellum, which is the center of human life, and its bleeding greater than 15 ml will be life-threatening. There is also a situation where after the impact, the brain does not bleed, and the person can even stand up afterwards, this situation should also be vigilant, "It may be that the injured blood vessel has not had time to rupture temporarily, or the person himself has high blood pressure, aneurysm, etc., which induces cerebral hemorrhage after injury." ”
The doctor reminds everyone that it is recommended not to choose a shark clip made of metal as much as possible. In addition, it is not recommended to wear shark clips when driving, riding, or exercising, and it is not recommended to wear shark clips in the bathroom or some occasions that are prone to slipping.
