In the Indian town of Korba, a surgeon removed more than 6 kilograms of iron from a patient's stomach, including dozens of nuts, screws and 421 coins
According to the doctor who performed the two-hour operation, he was never able to figure out how the man managed to survive in this state for several months. “I was shocked when I found 421 coins, dozens of nuts and screws in his stomach. Fortunately, the patient survived, and his condition is now stable, - said the surgeon Yadav, who operated on the man. The surgeon added that there is every reason to believe that the Indian suffers from either schizophrenia or allotriophagy (a painful desire to swallow inedible things). 26-year-old Kuleshwar Singh was rushed to the hospital with acute abdominal pain. A medical examination revealed the presence of numerous foreign objects in his stomach, after which it was decided to immediately carry out the operation.
Unfortunately, after a little improvement, the Indian passed away last Sunday. According to the doctors, he had something like a mania, and it all started with the fact that he stole a piggy bank from his sister and ate all the coins.
