YOU know those X-Rays of people who have been impaled on something hideous, or have had something unusual growing in them?
Well, here are the most memorable:
Shooting Pains
HOU Guoying, 65, of China, has a pain in her face. She has been complaining of an agonising headache.
Guoying has a bullet embedded near her right jaw and ear, having been accidentally shot with a pistol during the Cultural Revolution in 1967.
In 1978, an X-ray revealed the bullet in her head. She declined an opertion, fearing the poor medical facilties woudl get her before the bullet.
Last month she has the 3.3cm-long bullet removed.
