Man Operated on After Swallowing Cutlery

BEKAA VALLEY, Lebanon (Reuters) - Doctors have operated on
a Lebanese man to remove 39 metal and plastic knives, forks,
spoons and even lighters which he swallowed over one year.

Doctor Jihad Disouqi, one of the medical team, said the
30-year-old man was rushed to Bekaa hospital in a state of
suffocation after swallowing a piece of water pipe this week.

He said the man, who suffered a psychological problem, was
now in stable condition.

"The weight of the metal and other things he swallowed was
heavy, but it did not tear the stomach. He also did not suffer
any serious illness before and no one discovered what he had
been doing," said Disouqi.

Disouqi said the man broke the table spoons and knives into
two pieces so that he could swallow them.
