Video: Man’s runny nose turns out to be leaking brain…

If you currently have a runny nose you may not want to watch, or read, the following... Warning: it features footage of surgery, in case blood isn't your thing.

Don’t you just hate it when you go to the doctor with a persistent runny nose, only to find out that your brain is actually leaking? Sounds a bit mad, doesn’t it?

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Joe Nagy of Phoenix, Arizona after he went to the doctor with what he thought was a simple runny nose.

Here’s the worst newscaster in the world, EVER, to tell us a little bit more about what the hell was going on. Seriously, he’s just awful on this segment.

"Brooop! This clear liquid dribbled out of my nose like, just like tears out of your eyes. I go, 'What in the? What is this?'" said Nagy after he discovered the fluid.

So, seems like a pretty rare thing to happen, right? Wrong. "This is one of the more common conditions to be missed for a long time because so many people have runny noses,” said Neurosurgeon Dr Peter Nakaji of the Barrow Neurological Institute.

So there you have it, yet another ailment for the hypochondriac within you to worry about.
