Boy found with 200 nails in his stomach
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
This teenage boy was almost killed by what he enjoyed eating the most - nails!
The 15-year-old teenager had been complaining about stomach pains and was rushed to hospital - and doctors could not believe what they found inside him.
Lui enjoyed swallowing foreign objects that should not be consumed - nails, toothpicks, stones, and coins, over weeks and months, with his parents totally unaware of what experts in China believe could be related to be a psychological disorder named pica.
When the doctors discovered what was causing his pain from a CT scan, they immediately rushed him to surgery, removing 200 nails that weighed around 700 grams.
Crazy!
