Needle Drawn From Hand By Magnet In Surgery
A young laundress drove a broken needle into her right hand and it vanished in the flesh. After days without operation, then two months of pain, doctors Gorniewski and Cerestin used a weak electromagnet. Nine attempts led to a prick along the palm as the needle moved, and finally the needle appeared under the skin and was drawn out with the broken end first.
