A man in India spent two months swallowing knives and had 40
of them surgically removed from his stomach, according to the doctor who led
the operation Dr. Jatinder Malhotra.
Malhotra said they found foldable knives, which when fully
extended were about seven inches long.
Malhotra adds that the patient says he swallowed some knives
folded, and some unfolded and when the operation ended, some were found folded,
some were open, and some had even started rusting and were broken.
The patient, a 42-year-old father of two, told pressmen that
he's feeling much better.
"I'm sorry I let my family down. I'll be forever
thankful to doctors and hospital staff for saving my life," he said.
Malhotra says the patient is now "out of danger"
and is set to be discharged in a couple of days.
Two doctors at the hospital told pressmen that the patient
won't be discharged until he's cleared by psychiatrists, which is set to happen
in a couple of days.
