Watch: Doctor removes sword piercing man's chest next to beating heart
The highly risky operation captured on camera required medical professionals to carefully slide the weapon past the man's vital organ.
A shocking video reveals how a surgeon was able to remove a sword from man’s chest even as it lying just a millimetre away from the patient’s still-beating heart. The highly risky operation captured on camera required medical professionals to carefully slide the weapon past the man’s vital organ in order to save his life.
Spanish media reports say that the man in the video had allegedly attempted suicide but there's been no official confirmation from the authorities. It is also said that this footage was filmed at a hospital in Zaragoza, Spain on April 5th.
The highlight of the short slip was the scary moment when the tip of the sword actually brushed the edge of the man’s beating heart. We strongly advise viewer discretion for those with a weak stomach.
