Forty sharp seven-inch knives were successfully taken out
from a man’s stomach by doctors in India. The case was considered one of a kind
and even the doctors involved said that they hoped never to see anything like
it again.
The incredibly risky operation was conducted recently at The
Corporate Hospital in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in northwestern India, by
a team of five doctors. The man in question had apparently picked up a rather
bizarre addiction to the taste of metal over a two-month period and had
proceeded to consume forty knives.
The unknown man was asked why he had swallowed the sharp
forty knives (seven-inch), to which he had replied that he “just felt like
eating them”.
Dr. Jatinder Malhotra, managing director of the hospital
told reporters that it was a terrible experience;
“He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the
experienced surgeons, it was frightening…In my 20 years of practice, this is
the most dreadful surgery I have ever seen or done.”
