- Hey, I'm sorry that I missed two videos in a row,
I had to get a gerbil removed from my butt.
No, I'm just kidding.
I actually moved to LA, but I am open to new things.
If you've ever met a nurse, they've probably
been able to tell you more than one nightmare story
of something or someone that they've dealt with.
I once had a nurse friend of mine tell me about
a patient that ripped their catheter out.
(dry heaves) Let's keep it together, Matt.
But as gross as those stories are,
they're day to day occurrences, nothing that
would go down in the history books,
not like the following stories, anyway.
From things being swallowed to things being
crammed into unsunny places, to creatures
finding a new home within people, gerbils,
there's really no limit to the amount of "huh"
that you're about to experience.
So, without further ado, let's get right into it:
These are the 10 Craziest Things Found
Inside Living People.
For the record, I was joking about the gerbil thing,
please don't make memes.
Number one is a plant.
Ah, plants, they make oxygen for us,
provide us with nourishment, and sometimes
they're pretty good at defending our phones
from zombie apocalypses, am I right?
However, they're also very good at finding
a way into the human body in disturbing ways,
which could literally leave you dying for air.
In early August of 2010, 75-year-old
Ron Sveden of Cape Cod, Massachusetts
was at his wits end with a nagging cough
that he had, so, fearing that he had a tumor
growing inside his lungs, he had a series
of x-rays and tests done.
And as it turns out, there was something growing,
but it was no tumor, it was actually a pea pod.
That's right, kids, one more reason
not to eat your vegebles!
Ron had somehow inhaled the seed while eating
a meal and with the warmth and moisture
inside his body, the pea actually sprouted.
See, pea plants actually begin growing by
germinating under the soil, with no need
for sunlight, so Ron's lung provided the
perfect place to begin the process.
Luckily, a surgeon actually was able to remove it,
and Ron continued eating vegetables like a champ!
Probably less peas, though.
Number two is a nail.
Hey, here's some free advice, if you ever have
yourself a little accident while working and
wind up with any foreign object in your brain,
do yourself a favor and go to the hospital!
It's okay, you can finish building that birdhouse
or installing that drywall, whatever you're doin',
just take a break and go get it removed, okay, okay.
That's advice that 32-year-old Dante Autullo
could've used on January 20th, 2012,
after he accidentally shot himself in the head
with a nail gun while building a shed.
The Orlando Park, Chicago resident initially
thought that doctors were joking when they
said what they found in his x-rays,
but soon realized that it was actually
a miracle that he survived, and this was no small nail,
it was actually seven and a half centimeters long,
and tore right through the middle part of his brain,
just millimeters from hitting the part which
controlled his motor functions.
The thing is, is that the accident actually
occurred days prior, as the man thought that he had
just been grazed by the nail, so he cleaned the wound
and finished the shed.
It spent an incredible 36 hours in his brain
before nausea finally brought him to the hospital,
where the embedded nail was discovered.
I'm happy to say that the surgery was a success,
in fact, you could say that the doctors...
Nailed it! (laughs)
I quit.
Number three is a fish.
Okay, there's ow, and then there's ouchie, mama!
And the latter is definitely the case with this one.
In 2007, a 14-year-old boy from India entered
a hospital complaining about pain and the inability
to go pee-pee, well, doctors soon discovered why
when x-rays revealed that the teen had
a two centimeter long fish in his bladder.
According to the boy, he was cleaning his aquarium,
and needed to pee, so he did the logical thing and
brought the fish with him.
But somehow, while emptying his bladder,
the fish wiggled free and somehow swam up him, um...
Peehole.
Now, first, doctors tried using special forceps,
but Nemo was just too darn slippery.
So they actually ended up resorting to using
a device reserved for removing bladder stones,
which actually managed to free the fish and let
the boy pee free again!
After the fish was removed, the boy was actually
admitted into counseling in an attempt to deal
with any trauma that he endured.
That kid is never gonna eat fish sticks again.
Fish sticks. Fish dicks.
What were we talking about?
Number four is a knife.
Okay, first off, real men don't complain
or even go to the hospital when they get
stabbed in the face, apparently.
Nah, they just live with it for four years until
people start complaining about their bad breath,
and it gets so hard to eat solid foods that they
finally have to do something about it.
Well, in February of 2011, 30-year-old Li Fuyan
from Yunan Province, China went to the hospital
complaining about headaches, bad breath,
and trouble breathing and swallowing.
That's when he discovered that he was not only
a walking miracle, but that he had been one
since an altercation during a robbery in 2007.
In the fight, Li was actually stabbed in the head
with a 10 centimeter long blade, not funny,
which entered under his jaw, broke off,
remained undiscovered for four years,
and then finally forced him to go to the hospital.
Unbelievably, no scar was even visible,
and there was no other evidence that the blade existed,
so Li went on with his life.
During a long, strenuous surgery, doctors were
able to remove the object from the man's head,
which they said could have hit his carotid artery,
or many of the other parts in his head that
would've instantly killed him.
But somehow, this blade found a perfect
path through his face.
Obviously, this guy doesn't fly very much,
'cause that could've been discovered at the airport.
Number five are bugs.
Earmuffs, children! Earmuffs!
Unfortunately, bugs are not strangers to
living in human bodies.
Spiders, ticks, and other parasites have
been known to burrow in for the long haul,
creating all kinds of problems.
Well, one man in India went to the hospital
with scratching sounds and pain in his head,
only to have an eight centimeter long live cricket
pulled out of his ear. (heaving)
Then, there's Hendrik Helmer of Australia,
who had a two and a half centimeter long cockroach
removed from his ear.
Okay, Matt, that's enough, I don't wanna hear no mo,
oh, there's one mo!
Neither of those stories compare to the bizarre story
of Michael Gorman, who, on September 26th, 2014,
had a moth fly up his head and into his ear.
This is basically what happened, the moth flew at him,
he smacked at it, but instead of pushing it away,
he pushed it up into his ear, where it crawled in deeper!
(moans) But, it gets weirder, because that's
when friends went after it with a tweezer and
found another surprise!
A black tick had already claimed Gorman's ear as its home,
but the moth had found its way past that.
Removing the first tick, Gorman's friend then
spent two minutes trying to remove the moth
before finally getting it and relieving the big man's pain.
I feel for this guy, but he needs
a lesson in personal hygiene.
First there was a tick, then a moth.
Bugs be takin' residence in yo head, son.
Number six is a hairball. (gags)
Some people have to be reminded on occasion that
they're not a cat.
Well, I can think of at least one person who does,
and that's 18-year-old Ayperi Alekseeva
from Kyrgyzstan, who, in mid-2014,
was hopsitalized when she was having severe stomach pain.
She literally could not eat a single thing or drink
anything without being sick.
Even drinking water ended up with her throwing up,
which has led doctors to discover that she had a severe
blockage in her stomach.
So, surgeons ended up operating, and removed
a trichobezoar, which is a scientific name for a hairball.
Oh, but you probably think it was just a tiny little
cat-sized hairball, no, it weighed four kilograms!
The disgusting mess was on the verge of killing her.
She was badly malnourished and dehydrated
due to the blockage.
The hairball itself was made up of the teenager's
own hair, and various hairs and fibers that she
lifted from floors and carpets of her home.
According to the surgeons, as soon as they cut
into her stomach, the strands almost ended up
immediately popping out.
There's a nice visual for ya!
The condition that she had that made her do this
is called tricophagia, and compels the person
to eat hair, however, she ended up making a full recovery.
Although, in seeing what that hairball looks like,
I'm not sure that I will. (shudders)
Number seven are worms.
We live in a world of delicacies where some,
if prepared improperly, can kill you.
Such is the case with eating improperly cooked meats
or accidentally ingesting feces of infected animals
that are used to grow some vegetables.
And these conditions can lead you to have
a parasite inside you called a tapeworm,
a creature that often measures several meters long
by the time you realize that it's even inside you.
Many people have had giant tapeworms removed
from them, the longest being over 25 meters in length.
But for one unnamed 50-year-old man from China,
the size mattered far less than the location.
In June of 2012, the man had a tapeworm removed.
From his head!
According to x-rays dating back to July 2008,
the parasite had been living comfortably,
enjoying meals consisting of the
man's brains for four years!
During that time, it moved completely from one side
of the brain to the other, enjoying all the little
food scraps along the way.
To this day, the man still deals with the side effects
resulting from the creature living inside his brain.
The moral of the story here, kids, is to cook your meats,
wash your vegetables, and wash your hands,
'cause you never know what you gonna be eatin'.
Number eight are utensils.
Hungry, why wait for the meal to come?
There's silverware right there!
At least I suppose that's what Margaret Daalman
was thinking when she was out for dinner one night.
In October of 2009, the 52-year-old Netherlands
resident was in the hospital complaining
about severe stomach aches.
So, doctors took some x-rays and discovered what,
at first, appeared to be a squid-shaped
object inside of her.
But, as soon as they cut into her to remove it,
they realized that what seemed to be a cephalopod
was actually multiple pieces of cutlery.
Surgeons removed 78 spoons and
forks from her stomach, 78!
Ironically, she had no choice but to go under the knife
for forks and spoons.
She was quoted as saying, "I felt the urge to
"eat silverware, I could not help myself."
That's how I imagine she spoke.
Number nine is a vibrator.
Oh boy, okay, uh, while normally, a vibrator may
not seem like it's something that would be on a list of
odd things to be removed from people, this one makes it
on account of what happened after the vibrator got...
Lost.
See, a man who asked not to be named because of
what I can only imagine would be severe embarrassment,
was enjoying the company of an artificial stimulator
when it became lodged deep in his bum bum.
So lodged, in fact, that it almost killed him.
Now, clearly being a genius, self-taught general surgeon,
the man grabbed the nearest sterile clean operating
room instrument, a pair of salad tongs from
the utensil drawer, and went to work attempting to
pull out the vibrator.
Salad, anyone?
However, after getting a hold of what I'm now going
to call Buzz Buzz McWangerton, the man quickly
realized his error, as the salad tongs
became lodged as well.
Looks like the medical training that he received
watching Grey's Anatomy must've been pretty basic.
He ended up going to the hospital and getting
both said items removed from his butt butt.
And number 10 is a sibling.
I'm going to close out this list with what has to be
the craziest thing that could be actually
inside you right now.
And that is your own biological sibling! Yep.
Now, don't freak out, but your baby brother or sister
could be stealing your nutrients from your body right now.
Okay, well, you probably would've noticed by now,
but in June of 1999, a man in India named Sanju Bhagat
lived for 36 years ashamed of his big belly,
which he believed was just that, a big belly.
Doctors assumed that he had a tumor when he
couldn't lose weight, and decided to
do a surgery to remove it.
Almost immediately, they realized it's not a tumor!
Nope, not a tumor, instead, it was another man.
It was his twin brother, complete with feet,
hands, and even hair that was removed that day!
The mutated boy survived by acting like a parasite,
absorbing much of the nutrients that he
took in with each meal.
To make it even more disturbing, the twin even
grew fingernails, which were several inches long
by the time that he was taken out.
Bhagat recovered fully, and is now living a normal life,
though, while he was initially teased for looking pregnant,
he's now teased for having the baby.
So those are the 10 craziest things found in living people,
if you guys have any other stories, keep 'em to yourself!
No, I'm just kidding, leave 'em in the comments,
I wanna know, 'cause I'm weird like that.
