India: Doctors remove 40 knives from police officer’s stomach

 

 

AMRITSAR: -- Forty knives have been surgically removed from the stomach of a police officer in northern India. Why he swallowed them remains unclear.

 

Surgeons in the city of Amritsar spent five hours operating on the 42-year-old who had complained of severe abdominal pain after consuming the blades over a period of two months.

 

According to some reports, the man said ‘spiritual powers’ made him swallow the knives.

 

Doctors say he will undergo a psychological assessment before being discharged from hospital.

And he carries a gun?

 

I don't imagine he had many hunger pains.

 

I wonder if he is still a cop.  Perhaps a promotion is in order to pay the medical bills.

" Doctors say he will undergo a psychological assessment before being discharged from hospital. "

 

How about an assessment before he goes back on police duty ?

 

Better suited to be a comic or generic cut up if there is any truth to you are what you eat.

That is a reasonable stab at the problem I guess.
