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.

Stealthily, a tree grew in Brooklyn, er, his lung.
Tree surgeon, to the rescue! ;-)
and you thought you couldn't grow melon when swallowing a seed! LOL ;)
Wonders never cease! Firtunately for him, a good surgeon wasn't hard to find.
I have trouble believing this, but what do I know...
My mother always warned us not to eat apple seeds or a tree would grow inside us. Hmmm...maybe she had something there! lol
no! this is another one of those childhood one of beans growing in your stomach or out your ears if you don't wash them properly...
This blows my mind. How did it grow without any light?
I saw this in one of our papers.
My grandma used to say to us as kids, "If you swallow tomato pips, you will get a tree grow in your stomach"
She was almost right!
Bizarre! Someone should have told him not in inhale.
I read about this - Amazing! It was good news for him though that it wasn't a tumour after all. :0
Uh oh, what about me? I swallowed a fly...
Wonder if the patient suffered from pins and needles!
Amazing! Just... amazing!
Oh Fir Pete's sake!
It sounded very Pine-full David.. :O)
