lost keys found... in a man's leg... sixteen years after "loss".
philadelphia's nbc-10 reports that a rather surprised fifty-year-old iranian man who «lost» some keys sixteen years ago has finally recovered them, following surgery which removed the keys from his leg.complaning of severe pain the man was taken to hospital where a radiograph revealed a set of keys lodged in his leg. doctors had removed the bullet but did not extirpate the keys back in 1988.
since the story comes from the same country where recent reports alleged a woman had given birth to a frog, yours truly must apply the baloney-detection kit without delay. so... the victim of a shooting accident arrives at hospital requiring surgery. while i can't claim any expertise in the standards and conditions at iranian hospitals two decades ago i expect a radiograph was taken before surgery then as it was now and the surgeons either neglected to extirpate the keys along with the bullet (just like surgical tools and other objects are sometimes left inside patients today here in the us) and neglected or forgot to tell the patient (or realising the negligence never told the patient) or made a medical decision to leave them and either informed the patient or not.
i mean, did the doctors know sixteen years ago? if so, why where the keys still in the leg two decades later? if so, did the patient know? is there anybody around asserting the man in question had previously told a keys-in-the-leg story? i mean, i'm interested in whether this was really a surprise and why...
