Doctors find kilo of screws and nails in man's stomach in LithuaniaVILNIUS, Lithuania — Doctors in Lithuania said on Friday they had removed over a kilogram of nails and screws from the stomach of a man who started swallowing metallic objects after quitting alcohol. An X-ray of his stomach showed up pieces of metal -- some measuring up to 10 centimetres (four inches). "During the three-hour operation with X-ray control, all foreign bodies, even the smallest ones, in the patient's stomach were removed," said surgeon Sarunas Dailidenas. The hospital provided local media with a photograph of a surgical tray heaped with nails and screws. The doctor said that the man had begun swallowing the metal objects over the last month after he had stopped drinking.
