Stick a Chopstick in Me, I'm Done

[southerngale]

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - When surgeons were treating a man for an eye infection, they found something they didn't expect - part of a wooden chopstick embedded in his face. The eating utensil was lodged in tissue between his eyes and was discovered during exploratory surgery to remove an unknown foreign object. According to Dr. Gurdeep Singh Mann, the patient, Ng Keng Choon, was lucky to be alive because the chopstick had been leaning against his brain. Ng had been beaten up five years ago by attackers who stabbed him with the chopstick. Gurdeep said, "We have checked medical journals and found out that this could well be the first time in the world where a chopstick was found inside a patient's face."

Oh no thats awful!!!!!

What a blessing it never moved and went into his brain!

I saw on Ripleys a woman who had a surgical clamp in her abdomen for over 17 years (poor woman was in constant pain) It was left in her after her son was born by emergency c-section....

It is truly amazing that the chopstick did not cause more damage to him that just eye irritation.
