A man is recovering in northern India after doctors reportedly removed 40 folding knives from his stomach. The 42-year-old underwent a delicate, five-hour surgery in Amritsar, Punjab, on Friday after complaining of piercing stomach pain, Doctors took a CT scan, and what they found shocked them. “In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it,” Dr. Jatinder Malhotra, who led the surgery, told CNN. “He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening.”
