I have high hopes for this guy

April 4, 2009

72-year old  Prax Sanchez coughed up an inch-long nail after an MRI this week.

“His doctor, Jamieson Kennedy, told television station KKTV in Colorado Springs that the nail might have been embedded there as long as 30 years. The MRI’s magnetic force apparently dislodged the nail, causing Sanchez to cough it up.”

wow.

“Sanchez says he can’t remember ever using a nail like it.”

wow again.

This guy is the Trifecta of potentially bizarre medical conditions.

– He apparently doesn’t feel anything

– He apparently doesn’t remember much

– And he apparently has no problem housing foreign objects in his body for decades at a time.

A reporter should accompany him to every medical visit. I might volunteer to go myself!

I wonder what his Proctologist will find.
