A mountain biker in New Mexico avoided serious injury, after he fell from his bike. That’s when a 2-cm-diameter branch pushed almost an inch into his neck.   Rather than attempt to remove the branch, the man rode to the closest ER.    A CT scan showed the branch didn’t damage any major veins or his airway, so doctors were able to remove it carefully and stitch the man up.
