Every year doctors face extremely strange cases. Such a true story shocked an entire world after a Chinese man needed several surgeries to recover from something he had done with his own hands!
The man, known in the press only as Wang, 50, decided to go to Suzhou Hospital in Jiangsu Province for general annual tests, but doctors were amazed by what they found in his gut. his thin and extremely close to the spine: two pens.
But that’s not all, it seems that the messy pens had been there for decades, more than 36 years. When Wang was asked by doctors how those foreign objects got into him, Wang replied that when he was a simple teenager, at 14, remembers losing a bet, so he agreed to swallow two pens. He told the Global Times, “I honestly thought the pens would be digested in my stomach over time.”
Fortunately for Wang, the medical team managed to surgically remove his pens from him. But it seems that they were not in a very good condition, given that they had been subjected to gastric acid for 36 years!
What amazed the doctors even more was the fact that Wang did not have serious health problems and lived a healthy 36 years. The doctors suspect that what made everything possible was: the pens had remained parallel to the man’s intestines, so they did not cause blockages or internal injuries.
