South American Lungfish Removed From Man's Bowels

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/30/eel-removed-from-bowels_n_6076118.html

A Brazilian who needed to have a large eel-like fish removed from his bowels had the ultimate insult added to his injuries: The nurses were laughing at him during the operation.

The unidentified man from Londrina somehow got a South American Lungfish stuck inside his anus and the removal was filmed.

Once inside, the lungfish decided to stay, necessitating his surgery at Hospital Universitário in Londrina, according to LiveLeak.com.

The doctors were able to remove the foot-long fish, but at the expense of the patient's dignity.

Whenever I was to have surgery I always advised my docs no partying the night before and be sure to get to bed early.

Go watch the video; that fish is bigger around than my wrist. Even though they're pointy at both ends, anuses are only stretchable to a certain extent.

You don't really see a defined ass in the video. He's already opened up so it's mostly just internal stuff.

If he had some really good drugs, he would have slept through the nurses' laughter, or at least he'd be able to laugh at the nurses.

At moments like that, a local will just not do.
