In a bizarre incident, the stomach of a Chinese
woman who ate and drank too much, exploded
while she was being operated on. The 58-year-old woman was hospitalised after she
developed severe abdominal swelling due to
excessive eating and drinking, state-run China News
Service reported. During the operation, fire broke out when the gas
burst out of her abdomen. The surgeons had to remove her entire stomach, the
report quoted Wang Hao, a doctor at the Nanjing
Drum Tower Hospital in Jiangsu province as saying. Wang said the incident occurred when the ethyl
alcohol in the patient's stomach came in contact
with the electric surgical knife. "Normally, people will stop eating when they feel
full. However, drinking alcohol during a rich
meal can make people ignore their body's
signals, and they eat too much,"
