Blockage in parts of the body can trigger a medical emergency. For example, fibrous and fatty materials accumulate in the interior linings of arteries and can restrict or block the flow of blood when they are thick, a condition called atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease.
Another case is gallstones, hardened cholesterol or digestive fluid that form inside the gall bladder.
When Yashoda Bai, from Harraiya village, Vijayraghavgarh, India complained of a recurring, severe back pain, she underwent an ultrasound in a hospital to determine the cause of her agony. The result of the sonogram indicated the presence of gallstones and an operation was scheduled to remove it.
Doctors were shocked when they found Bai's gall bladder filled with a whopping 382 stones, New York Post reported. They removed the gallstones and the bladder itself to end the patient's back pain.
Even more bizarre was the case of an 88-year-old patient who recently sought help from the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, France.
Upon examining the old man, doctors realized the senior was more than an emergency case. Adult and pediatric patients were immediately evacuated from the hospital and a bomb squad was called in as a safety precaution.
Surgeons then operated on the elderly patient to remove the eight-inch long, two-inch wide World War I mortar shell stuck in his rectum.
The cylindrical object that was intentionally inserted by the pervy patient inside his anus for pleasure was safely removed by doctors without complications, according to NYP.
