You won’t believe what’s hiding inside this former beauty queen’s stomach

“The abdomen in question belongs to former “Mrs. Idaho” Jamie Hilton. Back in June, Hilton was involved in a devastating accident, and had to undergo emergency brain surgery. In the process, her doctors removed 25% of her skull so that her severely swollen brain would have room to return to its normal size. Fully intending to reattach the skull fragment later, Hilton’s doctors stowed it away inside her stomach, where her body would keep it nourished until she was ready to have it reattached.”

This is both incredible and slightly horrifying. But bless her for seeming so positive about it. I would be freaking the heck out, like you put my skull where? The blessing and terror of modern medicine.
