[PHOTOS] Man Swallowed 40 Knives Because He “Liked The way They Taste”
42-year-old Indianan man Jarnail Singh was admitted to The Corporate Hospital in Gurdaspur, India with complaints of abdomen pain and weakness.

Surgeons were surprised when they found out he had swallowed not one, not two, but 40 knives over the last two months because he “liked the way they tasted.”
 
One of the five surgeons on hand, Dr Jitinder Malhotra, dubbed it as the most dreadful surgery he had seen in the last 20 years of practicing.
 
He said: ‘When we started diagnosis, we found the cause of the pain puzzling. We did an ultrasound, which showed some solid mass in his stomach, shaped like cancer.

‘The patient then told us he had an uncontrollable urge to eat knives. What is surprising is that he had been eating knives since the past two months.

‘I have not witnessed something like this in my career as a doctor.’
 
After a dreadful five hours of surgery, Jarnail was somehow successfully treated and will be discharged from hospital.
