Appendix Removed Via Mouth
Doctors in San Diego, California, have managed to perform a non-invasive appendectomy. This was accomplished by inserting a flexible tube inside a persons mouth and down its stomach. A cut was then made to access the appendix. The appendix is then cut off, bagged and extracted via the mouth. The only side effect is a sore throat! The lucky patient that holds this medical first, is a former US Marine named Jeff Scholtz. This operation benefits from faster recovery and absence of exterior incisions

Natalie eats only Tic Tac !
I have never seen anything like this before. The 17 year old Natalie Cooper from Maidstone has this rare medical condition where she gets sick if she eats anything. To keep her alive she is fed processed food through a special tube.
Natalie has made countless experiments and she has discovered that her body can only tolerate Tic Tacs! These small candies do not cause her any side effects hence they are ideal incase she gets a bit hungry while she is out with her friends. The taste of mint together with the small size of the Tic Tacs is what enables her organism to accept them.
