A Massachusetts man who was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung came home with an unusual diagnosis: a pea plant was growing in his lung.
Ron Sveden had been battling emphysema for months when his condition deteriorated.
He was steeling himself for a cancer diagnosis when X-rays revealed the growth in his lung.
Doctors believe that Mr Sveden ate the pea at some point, but it "went down the wrong way" and sprouted.
"One of the first meals I had in the hospital after the surgery had peas for the vegetable. I laughed to myself and ate them," Mr Sveden told a local Boston TV reporter.
Mr Sveden said the plant was about half an inch (1.25cm) in size.
"Whether this would have gone full-term and I'd be working for the Jolly Green Giant, I don't know. I think the thing that finally dawned on me is that it wasn't the cancer," Mr Sveden said.
He is currently recovering at home with his wife Nancy, who joked that God must have a sense of humour.
I believe what you said was very reasonable. But, what about
ReplyDeletethis? suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but
suppose you added a title that grabbed folk's attention?
I mean "Man grows pea plant inside lung- Amazing!" is a little
boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write news headlines to get viewers to click.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything've written. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
