Medicine, of course, concerns each of us. And today we bring to your attention the 10 most interesting medical facts that may seem fantastic to you.

As you know, the normal human body temperature is just below 37 degrees Celsius. An increase of 2-3 degrees can lead to serious consequences, and even lead to death. However, in 1980, American Willie Jones had a body temperature of 46.5 degrees Celsius. Surprisingly, the patient survived, although he had to stay in the hospital for about 1 month. That’s an organism!

In principle, all the medical facts presented here are amazing. But this one is hard to explain. One day, a 42-year-old woman came to the doctor complaining of mild abdominal pain. Later it turned out that there were more than 2500 foreign bodies in the patient’s stomach. There were about 1000 safety pins alone. I wonder why she ate them?
The largest weight of a foreign object that has ever been removed from the insides of a person was 2.3 kg. It was a large lump of human hair, which the patient himself ate. Unfortunately, he suffered from trichophagia, in which a person has an “interest” in eating hair.

An interesting medical fact: the longest operation lasted about 95 hours. During surgery, the ovarian cyst was removed. Before the operation, the woman weighed 280 kg, and after the operation, the weight was only 140 kg.
Norwegian Jan Revsdal managed to survive the longest cardiac arrest. When he went fishing in the winter, he fell into the icy water. As a result of this accident, his body temperature dropped to 24 degrees. The heart, unable to withstand such a load, stopped for 4 hours. An interesting fact is that the Norwegian was completely resuscitated when a circulatory machine was connected to him.
