Tree grew in man's lung. OUCH - GoFuckYourself.com

Vicious_B · 04-15-2009, 10:54 AM

Astonished surgeons have removed a two-inch long fir tree growing inside a patient's lungs.

Doctors thought Artyom Sidorkin, 28, had cancer when he began coughing up blood and complaining of agonising chest pains.

But as they operated to remove a tumour the medics were amazed to discover the perfectly formed spruce thriving inside the lung.

"I blinked three times and thought I was seeing things," said surgeon Vladimir Kamashev at Izhevsk Hospital in Russia.

Doctors believe that Artyom breathed in a tiny seed which then began growing in his lung and that the sharp pains were the plant's needle-like leaves digging into his lung.

"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," he explained.

Dammit! Must have missed it.

How long could it grow without light? When does photosynthesis become necessary (when does the stored energy in the seed run out)?

What they found in his lung is a sprout. It can basically grow to that point without sunlight.

Either it did not happen, or the person inhaled it some way.

Why couldn't it happen really? If the proper minerals were there that the seed required it should grow. When you start seeds you start them in the dark, just in liquid or in a small piece of paper towel that is moist and those grow and sprout. Has any doctor or plant person came out and said its a false story?
