Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
Have you ever been ashamed to tell your doctor that you know the exact cause of your stomach
pain?
Like that you ate a 2 whole boxes of Flintstones Cereal?...
My (clears throat) friend did that, how stupid, right?
Imagine having to tell your doctor that you have something inside you and they need to
take it out A.S.A.P.
Well, doctors are full of these stories and they have become one of the internet’s top
guilty pleasures.
Here are the top 10 Weirdest Things Removed From People!

Self-grown mushrooms Growing your own mushrooms sounds all well
and good if you’re talking vertical garden on the balcony.
How about growing them in your own stomach?
One woman, after eating mushrooms that weren’t soaked or chewed properly, had to pay the
E.R a visit.
Turns out, some of the mushrooms grew up to three inches long.. inside of her!
The mushrooms became stuck in her stomach - as she often reportedly ate cooked dry mushrooms
directly without soaking them and didn't chew them properly.
She went to the hospital after suffering from stomach ache, where they were able to spot
the mushrooms growing.

Hairball baby Hairballs feel like things that belong exclusively
in cartoons or cat people’s houses.
In reality, they can also be found in our bodies!
An extreme case was recorded in Chicago, when an 18-year-old patient, with the history of
chewing on her hair, had a 10-pound hairball removed from he stomach.
A 10-pound baby is considered chubby, imagine a ball of hair!
8.
Live frogs Chinese medicine has a mysterious nature about
it.
Drinking hot water for what ails you?
Why not?
Putting needles in pressure points?
Sign me up.
Swallowing live animals?
Sure...wait, what?
That’s right.
In China, Yang Dincai developed the habit of swallowing small animals, mostly frogs,
and rats.
For decades he convinced others to follow his lead, saying it solved health issues.
It’s unknown how many people treated their illnesses with Yang Theory, but doctors were
certainly shocked to find frogs in one of his patients’ stomachs during a routine
scan.
Maybe he should have mentioned that in the consult…
7.
A Live Eel Animals are a common trend in “things that
don’t belong in our bodies,” and though frogs may be gross enough for some, Hong Kong
doctors once found something more shocking.
In the early 2000s, a man went to a hospital complaining of pain.
After a quick examination, doctors were able to find the culprit: a 20-inch eel!
Of course, once it was found he admitted he may or may not have inserted it into his rectum,
but only to relieve his constipation, of course!
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the eel was still alive and was found biting him during
surgery!
Though it may sound like Asian folklore, another strikingly similar case was reported in New
Zealand in 2012.
This is one of those cases where “don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it” certainly
does not apply.
6.
Concrete A lot of E.R. visits happen as a result of
a couple trying to spice things up in the bedroom.
Some people get too intoxicated, hit their heads, dislocate a shoulder or two.
This particular couple was way past amateur hour and decided to funnel ready-mix concrete
into one of their rectums.
Once the mixture hardened, the pain started to set in.
In the doctor’s own words “Under general anesthesia, the anus was dilated and two Foley
catheters were inserted alongside the rectal mass to relieve suction.
A concrete cast of the rectum was delivered without incident.
A layer of concrete was chipped off the upper part of the specimen and revealed a white
plastic ping-pong ball.
The patient was kept overnight and…
He was discharged uneventfully the following morning.”
5.
Cockroaches That’s right, the world’s biggest gag-inducing
animal can make its way into our bodies.
In fact, we have two particularly disturbing cases.
The first is that of an Australian man who awoke with a sharp pain in his ear.
In the E.R., the forceps inserted into his ear brought out a dead one-inch cockroach.
The second was in India, where a LIVE cockroach - but this one crept into her nose during
the night and placed itself between her eyes!
The woman was lucky it was still alive, as its death could have caused brain damage.
I don’t know about you, but I personally will never sleep again.
4.
Rusty Knife They say no good deed goes unpunished, and
there is no better example of this than the case of Li Fuyan.
Fuyan attempted to be the hero during a robbery and was stabbed in the throat in the process.
Miraculously, he walked away with only minor bleeding, so he figured the thief had made
off with his weapon.
That is until he visited the hospital three years later and doctors found it lodged in
his skull!
Somehow, the knife missed every major artery during the attack.
3.
Fireworks Big fireworks go up in the sky, go boom.
Fireworks inside of body?
Preferably, no...
At one San Antonio hospital, though, this was the case when a man came in after he accidentally
lodged a firework into his leg.
The incident was caused by an unexploded firework still lodged in a tube he was lighting from.
When he went to go light a new firework, the old one ignited.
His leg was noted as severely contaminated and broken.
2.
A Grenade While firework injuries are fairly common
for medical staff, not much prepares them for live military-grade explosives that have
also been known to make an appearance inside patients.
A soldier in Afghanistan was hit with a grenade in the abdomen, and, miraculously, it didn’t
explode.
His fellow soldiers took him to an army hospital and, believe it or not, surgeons and bomb
experts were able to remove the device safely.
Talk about it not being your time!
1.
A Fetus At number one, we have a case that may seem
laughable at first, but did we mention the fetus came from that of a man?
In India, a man who suffered from a large growth in his abdomen his whole life was suddenly
struck with breathing difficulties.
The doctors looked to the growth for the answer and found inside, not a tumor, but a deceased
sibling; a fetus that he had absorbed in the womb!
Just when I thought my siblings were clingy.
