Surgeons at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, India, immediately operated and removed the 15-lbs. of foreign objects.

Khan is believed to suffer mental health problems and did not inform his family or friends of bizarre eating habits.

"The patient was complaining of stomach pain, so we thought of getting an endoscopy done," Dr. Priyank Sharma, lead surgeon, said. "We were shocked to discover that coins, nails and nut-bolts in his stomach. We come across such a case for the first in our career."

"This man looks mentally unstable as no sane person would do something like this," he said. 

According to the doctors, Khan worked as a three-wheeler driver and would often swallow coins given to him by customers.

He had been complaining of stomach pains for three months.

Relatives said he had slipped into a depression and might have got hooked onto eating metal objects.

"Whenever he felt the urge to ingest a coin, he ingested it with water," said a family member.

Good metaphor for people who consistently vote Democrap or RINOcrap. “My life has gotten really tough lately and I don’t know why”

“Man complaining of abdominal pain has 263 coins removed from stomach”

The first doctor they took him to told them he didn’t see any change in the patient.

I suppose he is lucky they didn’t start with an MRI. What a mess that would have made.
