Doctor's Remove Many Objects from a Man's Stomach

"A Sebian man had surgery to remove some unusual objects from his stomach, including eight nails, a knife, a pen, a screw, a spoon, and a clothes-peg. There were also several other smaller objects in his stomach. Doctors were amazed that he had swallowed so many items without causing damage to his insides. A relative of the man had apparently reported him.

I have so many questions about this. How does a knife wind through your digestive system without causing major damage? What happens when he goes to the bathroom? Did he make clanking sounds when he walked? Was his wife's cooking reallys so bad that he'd rather eat the silverware?

"The identity of the patient has not been revealed. The doctors said he had suffered no major damage to his internal organs, and was successfully recovering." "


Now.. I'm not really sure where to start. Keep your kids away from things they can swallow. Or at least supervise them. I'm sure everyone does, but with this story, I feel like when I have kids, I will never be able to let them out of my sight. The thing about this is... is that this isn't even a story about a little kid. It's a story about a full grown man. Now if this guy doesn't have a medical problem... how on Earth could you do something so crazy like this? He's lucky that the knife or nails didn't cut his stomach open and could have died of internal bleeding.

However; I've actually seen a show on Discovery Health that dealt with a woman with a disorder like this. Although I can't remember the name of the disorder.. she had swallowed many different things and went to the doctor. While they were wheeling her into the OR, a nurse had been swapping out batteries for a remote and had them sitting on a table outside of a room. While wheeling past the room, the lady grabbed the batteries, popped them in her mouth, and swallowed them... right before the doctor's eyes. This lady knew what she was doing, but couldn'd help it. I truely feel sorry for people that have crazy disorders such as this one, and I hope they can make it.


That's all for today,
Until next time,
