A doctor in Huainan, East China's Anhui Province was recently shocked to
discover golden 'Buddhist relics' inside a patient's body during a
gallbladder operation, which turned out later to be an unusual
gallstone. "The gallstone was bead-shaped and golden, which
looked just like Buddhist relics," said the surgeon, surnamed Zhu,
according to Feidian Video on Tuesday. "Such gallstones are very
rare to see, and frankly, it's beautiful," added Zhu, who carries out
hundreds of surgeries every year. "I kept it myself after asking for the patient's permission," said Zhu with excitement. Zhu
encouraged people to eat some fatty food from time to time, which can
help with bile excretion and prevent gallstones from forming. "The
formation of gallstones also relates to our everyday habits. And people
should definitely not get too full or too hungry," reminded the
surgeon. Netizens on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo were also
shocked by the picture, but also expressed concerns over the patient's
health. "He must have been hurting badly to have formed such a big one
in his bladder, or maybe he comes from outer space," joked one netizen
with a smirking emoji.
