Indian man has 40 knives removed from stomach after 'urge to eat them'

[daigong]

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.

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