Doctors allowed Yekaterinburg citizen to live with needles in head

Needles in the head of 67-year old citizen of Yekaterinburg were discovered by doctors. Doctors and patient are puzzled how needles have got there.

But doctors don`t want to extract objects from head: they are sure that pensioner`s headaches can be explained by other reasons.

News about 3 needles in head of Gennady Varlamov his relatives considered for joke at first. Results of craniography shocked the man: "My hair stood on end! To live for so long? And I had 3 needles all this time. And as I went home - these thoughts didn`t leave me?"- said Varlamov.

Man turned to neurosurgeons, but doctors reassured him that his headaches were caused by foreign objects in the head. "You live with them for a long time and don`t pay attention on that. You don?`t need neurosurgical operation", - thinks the head of neurosurgical department of regional clinical hospital Evgeny Danilov.

There are such cases in medical literature. As a rule, this was a cruel method to get rid of undesired kids - it was almost impossible to prove such murder earlier. But Gennady Varlamov denies this possibility - he was brought up in whole family and parents were happy when he was born.
