The eel was removed from the patient’s stomach and appears to be wriggling as it’s extracted.

It is possible the patient in the video is the same person who put an eel up his anus last month.

Rushed into surgery, doctors were horrified to find a 50cm long eel that had ruptured the man’s intestines and was lodged in his body.

Surgeons removed the sea creatures and were amazingly able to save Liu’s life.
