A Chinese man has had a six-inch-long dagger removed from his rear yesterday after it got stuck there by ‘accident.’
The patient, which is only known by his surname of Yan, said that he had tried to remove his piles with his knife in his room when the blade got caught in his rectum.
However, doctors from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in Hangzhou, eastern China, said they didn’t find any haemorrhoids on Mr Yan.
Mr Yan was taken to the hospital by his colleagues at around 11am on October 7.
He is reported to be in his 50s and comes from Jiangsu province. He works as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Hangzhou.
An unnamed colleague, who sent Mr Yan to the hospital, told Zhejiang Television Station: ‘A colleague of his called me and said [Mr Yan] was sleeping and couldn’t come to work today.
‘He said a knife is sticking out from [Mr Yan’s] rear.’
Mr Yan’s colleagues decided to rush him to the hospital.
The dagger was around six inches in length. Around 1.5 inches of it were stuck in Mr Yan’s body.
However, doctors failed to find any traces of piles around the patient’s anus and suspected Mr Yan suffers from mental diseases.
It’s unclear if Mr Yan will remain in the hospital for further medical treatment.
