Title: Indian man has 40 knives removed from stomach after 'urge to eat them'
Post by: daigong on August 22, 2016, 05:06:33 AM
Stunned surgeons in India have removed 40 metal knives from a patient who had an ‘uncontrollable urge’ to eat the cutlery.

The 42-year-old, whose real name was not published,  received emergency treatment at a hospital in Gurdaspur, a city in the North India state of Punjab, after complaining of abdomen pain and weakness.

A team of surgeons were astonished when they discovered he had swallowed dozens of knives over the last two months because 'he liked the way they tasted', Barcroft Media reports. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/20/indian-man-has-40-knives-removed-from-stomach-after-urge-to-eat/)

My favourite bit was when he just went in to see the doctor "complaining of abdomen pain and weakness."
