Just Looking For A Tree Surgeon
Astonished surgeons at Izhevsk Hospital in Russia have removed a two-inch-long fir tree growing inside a patient's lungs. Doctors believe he breathed in a tiny seed which then began growing in his lung and that the agony was caused by the plant's needle-like leaves digging into his lung.
