Default A Metal Badge Embedded in the Forehead: A Case Report of Military Uniform Safety

Have you ever seen a wound created by a military badge?

I came across an academic paper that highlights such a case -

"A 23-year-old male who works as military personnel has presented to the emergency department with a metal FB embedded in the left side of his forehead. He was involved in blunt force physical altercation while at work, and the metal badge of his uniform hat got embedded in his forehead".

Thought it might be of interest to some

Link to the paper is here for anyone interested:
