The case of Duorijie, an old farmer from the rural county of Haiyan in China’s north-western Qinghai Province, can be considered nothing short of a miracle. Stabbed in the head in 1994, during a violent mugging, Duorijie had reportedly been living with a long knife blade stuck in his brain ever since. Lucky to have survived the attack, the farmer had been experiencing all kinds of troublesome symptoms because of the knife blade in his brain, like lost vision in his right eye and chronic headaches.
Duorijie initially sought medical assistance in 2012, when his headaches became too hard to bear. However, after taking X-ray of his skull and shockingly discovering the four-inch-long blade stuck inside the farmer’s brain, doctors decided that attempting to remove the foreign object was to dangerous, so they declined to operate on him.
CT scans and X-rays performed at the hospital of Shandong First Medical University in Jinan showed that the blade was located at the base of the patient’s skull, lodged against his eye socket and pressing against his optic nerve.
Apparently, neurosurgery has come along way since 2012, and this time doctors were confident enough to attempt the blade removal, so on April 2 and 8 Duorijie underwent two delicate surgical procedures to finally have the long knife blade removed.

Socialized medicine?
Never get in a knife fight with a midget. He’s got all the good cuts and all you can do is try to stab him in the head.
Doctor to Duorijie as he prepares to take the knife out:
“This may tickle a bit”
It went down as a Covid 19 case right?
Did the doctor who removed it become the King of England?
OH! LOL! You win the internet today!

I would think so.
Ironically, Duorijie died of the Chinese Flu (I guess, in China, they just call it ‘the flu’) 3 days later...
“You’ll feel a little pinch now”
Old?
Did that show start after MTV quit airing music videos?
Did you even know that MTV was known for music videos way back when?
Do you know what the acronym MTV means?
“Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’
swords is no basis for a system of government!
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic
ceremony!”
The doctor is probably smarter than that. I mean, if he went around sayin’ he was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at him, they’d put him away!
Fake news, we all know they have free limitless health care
Thank you!
Of course I know all that.
Good.
dude needed that blade in his skull like he needed a hole in his head.
