The photo below is one of those where you look a few times and are still lost for words :
Kumar Paswan, an eight-year-old Indian boy, was born with a terrible abnormality. The baby boy was born with a parasitic twin: the lower part of his twin brother was growing from his stomach. Doctors have recently conducted a unique operation to relive the boy of his intolerable tortures.
The boy’s twin brother died in the mother’s womb. His body grew into the stomach of the healthy fetus. Obstetricians were shocked to see legs sticking out of the baby’s stomach.
“When he was born medics told us that his life would not last long. But my son looked healthy if you don’t look at his stomach, of course,” the boy’s father said.
The little Indian is still alive despite the medical prognosis. It took his parents a long time to collect the money for surgery. The parasite child has been removed from Kumar’s body. The young patient feels fine – he is looking forward for the moment when he recovers from surgery to finally be able to enjoy life like everyone else.
I am sure the poor little bugger is a lot happier now his twin has been removed.
