A patient went into hospital for routine surgery in India - only for x-rays to reveal he had 75 metal pins lodged in his arms, feet and neck.
Badrilal Meena, from Kota in Northern India's Rajasthan State, had been admitted to hospital for a procedure on his toe, when doctors noticed needles in his foot, according to Daily Mail.
Further investigations revealed the 56-year-old had dozens more pieces inside other parts of his body.

Neither the patient nor his family had any idea how the needles ended up there, but they were clearly inserted deliberately, medics said.
