Wouldn’t Spinach Be Easier To Digest?
A 43-year old woman from Can Tho City, Vietnam went to the hospital complaining of a stomach ache. The doctors took X-rays and determined there were some oddities that needed further examination. They performed surgery and found the cause of the problem.
"After having her stomach X-rayed and scanned, we found a stack of strange objects and decided to operate as soon as possible," he said.
During surgery, doctors removed 119 nails, each about 3 inches long. Many were rusty, indicating they could have been in her stomach for months, Nam said.
The woman's stomach was scratched by the nails, but she did not suffer any major injuries, he said.
This is a novel way to address an iron deficiency. Stupid, but novel.
