<<Woman Stabs Eyes With Pencils In Suicide Attempt, Now She’s Suing
An unidentified woman recently decided to try to end her life in perhaps the most gruesome way – by stabbing both her eyes with pencils. After the unsuccessful suicide attempt, the woman was brought to a local hospital and treated, and a pre-surgical photo was taken and later leaked on the Internet.
The image has since gone viral, and she is suing the hospital for not only taking the photo without permission, but for the unauthorized disclosure of medical information.
The woman, who has only been identified as Jane Doe, tried to commit suicide by jamming pencils into both her eyes. The unsuccessful attempt resulted in a trip to the hospital. Once there, a member of the medical staff caring for Doe, presumed to be a nurse, snapped a quick photo of the woman in her state of disrepair.
That nurse reportedly sent the photo to a friend, which eventually made its way to a man by the name of Joshua Shivers. Needless to say, Shivers used his mother’s computer to post the photo to an online shock website where it immediately went viral. Shivers later bragged about the popularity of the pic by writing, “I finally made it in life. Please check out my shiz.”>>
