Chinese surgeons will try to remove 23 needles from a woman that doctors believe may have been embedded under her skin by grandparents trying to kill her so that a baby boy might take her place.
The needles — about an inch in length — were discovered by X-ray after Luo Cuifen, 29, went to doctors complaining of blood in her urine.
Many of the needles have worked their way into Luo’s vital organs including her lungs, liver, bladder and kidneys, making their removal difficult, said Qu Rui, a spokesman for the Richland International Hospital in Yunnan province’s capital, Kunming.
