REAL LIFE NEWS: IS THAT A KNIFE IN YOUR HEAD, OR ARE YOU JUST PLEASED TO SEE ME?

by Hazed

A patient in China complained of headaches and a bad taste in his mouth, so doctors examined him - and found that he had a 4 inch blade buried in his face!

Li Fu must have been walking around for four years with the metal object lodged in his head, ever since he was stabbed during a robbery when he was working as a cab driver.

The blade had penetrated his tongue root, muscles and brain. It took a four hour operation to remove it, and he is now recovering.

After the robbery, Li was treated at a local hospital, where doctors cleaned his wound and gave him disinfectant shots. Li said, "The wound healed up gradually and I didn't have any other symptoms, so I didn't think of having further checkups."

Police caught the criminal, who had a broken knife handle in his possession, but they never found the matching blade - until now!
