Doctors at the Bundi government hospital removed 116 iron nails, a long wire and an iron pellet from the stomach of a 42-year-old man here.

Dr Anil Saini, a surgeon at the hospital, said most nails measured 6.5 cm and it took an hour-and-a-half to remove the objects from the man’s body.

“I was stunned after noticing the objects in his X-ray report after which I recommended for a CT scan. That, too, confirmed the same after which the patient was operated upon on Monday, said Dr Saini. The condition of the patient is normal and he was speaking properly post operation, Dr Saini further said.

“However, he is not being able to narrate as to how he happened to swallow such a huge quantity of objects. The iron nails could have proved fatal if any of these had entered his intestine, the doctor added.

The patient worked as a gardener and his family members were also not able to tell as to how he swallowed the objects, the surgeon said.

I’m no doctor, but I think 116 iron nails, a long wire, and an iron pellet would certainly cause some pain in your stomach. My million dollar question here is how in the fucking world do you ingest all of that and just have no idea how they wound up there? Like that doesn’t happen by accident. Was he kidnapped and someone did it to him? Was he just blackout drunk and had no memory of going to town on some nails? One nail is one thing. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN is insane. Buddy, go eat a cheeseburger. Fucking India, man.

As a kid I once ate a staple. I thought I was going to die. Nothing ever ended up happening, but it was a scary few days playing the waiting game. The list of random shit we ate as kids is probably preposterous. If I thought a staple once looked appetizing who the hell knows what YP thought was yummy back in his youngin’ days while he was wrestling sharks.
