Doctors remove 40 knives from man's stomach in India - Adesewa - 08-22-2016
The man kept his knife-eating habit secret from his family
"In my 20 years of practice, I have had never seen anything like it," doctor says
New Delhi (CNN) — A man in India spent two months swallowing knives and had 40 of them surgically removed from his stomach, according to the doctor who led the operation.
"He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening," Dr. Jatinder Malhotra told CNN.
"We were so nervous... a small mistake could have taken the patient's life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it."
Malhotra said it took his team about two days to form a diagnosis and surgery plan.
The five-hour operation took place Friday in the northern Indian city of Amritsar, a Sikh holy city in the state of Punjab. Dr. Jatinder Malhotra told CNN.
