Doctors in China found more than 100 needles in a patient's body after the man went to the hospital complaining of shooting pains.

When doctors examined him, they say they found needles in every part of his body except for his head.

Scans and x-rays reportedly showed he had 38 needles in his stomach alone.

Doctors say the man told them he used to play with needles as a child but that the man doesn't remember putting the needles into his body.

"It's a miracle they've been there so long without becoming infected," a hospital spokesperson says.

Surgeons will now begin a series of delicate operations to remove the objects.  Copyright WENN.com. Metro.co.uk contributed to this report.

I posted the whole story because there really is no credit given to any authorship for the story other than two sources being credited for contributing. I checked out both and they have nothing on the story, so I posted without a link.

As for the story, I personally have always hated needles, I cannot imagine finding out I have over a 100 in my body....weird!

I thought the Chinese were experts on acupuncture.

Unlike the Great Houdini here

this guy was a very, very bad magician.

There’s probably more to the story than is here. I doubt he forgot sticking 100 needles in himself. He probably has a screw loose.

“the man told them he used to play with needles as a child...”
Yea, who here hasn’t?!

This is a needles tragedy.

Run him through an MRI machine set at full power. All needles will be out in a jiffy!

Maybe he tried acupuncture on himself and didn’t know how to do it?

Reminds me of a gross joke about 45 years ago.

What is red and white and sits in a corner?

A baby playing with razor blades.

Ugh.

Nice wordplay... I guess...

At least he is better off than this dog which go to know a porcupine rather well:

Moral of the story: Don’t let your child play with needles.

ban all needles & acupuncture therapy

I remember that one! (except it was only about 30+ years ago.)
From that same period:
What’s red and green and goes 100 miles per hour?
A frog in a blender.
The classic kids jokes never die... ;o)

Ok, inquiring minds need to know.

How many did the poor thing come across?

[MyTwoCopperCoins]

Just one, I’m guessing.

The needles have barbs on them facing outward, that makes them dig deeper and deeper into the flesh, with every little movement of the flesh.
