You won’t believe what this surgeon found in an Egyptian patient’s stomach

A cave of wonders, no less, is what an Egyptian man’s stomach has come to be after it was revealed he had 39 metal nails, a lighter and a nail clipper resting in it.

Egyptian surgeon at Qasr El Eyni hospital, Abdelrahman Mostafa, took to Facebook after he unraveled this mystery during an X-ray for the patient.

Mustafa shared an image of the treasure-filled X-ray and stated that a surgery to extract the items has been a success and that the patient is recovering well.

He continued to express his astonishment saying “enough with the surprises, Egypt.”

His friends also responded with shock, some have even claimed that the patient may suffer from a psychological problem which may have led to this circumstance. Others have claimed he may possess supernatural powers that have allowed him to swallow such solid items.
