Man With Twin Living Inside Him -- A Medical Mystery Classic

Sanju Bhagat's stomach was once so swollen he looked nine months pregnant and could barely breathe.

(ABC News)

Living in the city of Nagpur, India, Bhagat said he'd felt self-conscious his whole life about his big belly. But one night in June 1999, his problem erupted into something much larger than cosmetic worry.
An ambulance rushed the 36-year-old farmer to the hospital. Doctors thought he might have a giant tumor, so they decided to operate and remove the source of the bulge in his belly.
"Basically, the tumor was so big that it was pressing on his diaphragm and that's why he was very breathless," said Dr. Ajay Mehta of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. "Because of the sheer size of the tumor, it makes it difficult [to operate]. We anticipated a lot of problems."
Mehta said that he can usually spot a tumor just after he begins an operation. But while operating on Bhagat, Mehta saw something he had never encountered. As he cut deeper into Bhagat's stomach, gallons of fluid spilled out -- and then something extraordinary happened.
"To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside," he said. "It was a bit shocking for me."

Wow. So the twin was actually alive inside of him? That's freaky!

The fetus was not alive and this story is from 2006. Kinda too tabloid for this forum as far as I'm concerned.

The twin was probably a liberal. They love sponging off others.

(Hoping y'all have a sense of humor and don't hit that report button. )
