Doctors in India have operated to remove a live fish from the lung of a 12-year-old boy.

Anil Barela swallowed the 3 1/2" fish while playing in a river. Indian boys commonly swallow live fish - but this one went down the wrong way and entered the boy's left lung. After he started feeling short of breath, doctors removed the fish in a 45 minute operation.


Sigh. Yes, I totally believe this story. Because though x-rays can see through flesh and blood and organ and bone, they're no match for Mr. Flippy.

.. and Mr Flippy is STILL ALIVE! Yes, somehow he's breathing in the dark damp but waterless environment of the boy's lung! Maybe they should leave him there to see if he spawns some now miraculous life-form.
