SARATOV, RUSSIA
One day, Olga Petrovic isn’t feeling well. She goes to see a doctor in her small town in southern Russia. “What’s the matter?” he asks. “I have a stomachache. And I’m running a fever,” she tells him. The doctor takes an x-ray. He’s shocked when he looks at it. There’s a 12-inch piece of metal in Olga’s stomach. “That takes the cake!” he thinks. “No wonder she has a stomachache!” Olga remembers an operation she had 25 years ago. Apparently, the surgeon made a big mistake and left a medical instrument inside her. “We need to get rid of it,” says the doctor. “You need an operation.” Olga has cold feet and wants to put it off. But her doctor wants her to have the operation right away. Now the medical instrument is gone and Olga is recovering.
