Doctors in Peru removed knives, nails, screws and other objects from the stomach of a metal-eating man, the Daily Mirror reported.

Luis Zarate, 38, went to doctors with severe stomach pain. Doctors were stunned when an X-ray revealed that the man had swallowed a knife, nails, screws, a watch and even barbed wire.

“There were 17 strange objects found at the level of his stomach and colon,” said Julio Acevedo, who performed Zarate’s surgery. “The objects had caused his stomach to expand.”

Zarate is recovering at the hospital in Trujillo, a coastal town in northwestern Peru.

An amazing discovery in Greece.  A 9-year-old girl went to the hospital suffering from stomach pains.  Doctors say she was actually carrying her embryonic twin in her somtach. 

Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long.

“They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn’t suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo,” hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.
