Souza complained of a pain in his head when he went home. Souza was seen by a doctor who then prescribed him antibiotics.
Four days later, still in pain, Souza was seen by another doctor who sent him home without doing an X-ray. Souza’a family paid for an X-ray and that was when they discovered the bullet in Souza’s head. It took surgeons 4 hours to remove the bullet. Souza was not seriously injured.
