Woman pregnant for 60 years!

STUNNED doctors discovered a woman complaining of stomach ache had been carrying her unborn child for 60 YEARS.
Huang Yijun, 92, of Huangjiaotan, southern China, was told by medics in 1948 that her child had died in the womb.
Doctors demanded £100 to remove it, so she walked away.
She said: “It was a huge sum at the time - more than the whole family earned in several years so I did nothing and ignored it.”
But the secret emerged when Huang hurt her stomach and went to hospital for a scan.
Dr Liu Anbin at Qingshen hospital said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I discovered she had a baby in her belly.
“I’ve been a doctor for more than 40 years and it’s the first time I have seen something like this.”
Now medics are carrying out further tests to see if Huang needs an operation to remove the baby.
Consultant Xu Xianming, director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at the hospital, said: “Normally a dead fetus would decay. It’s very rare that Huang can be so healthy.”
Holy crap!
HAYWARD, Wis. — A man who froze to death in Wisconsin while sleepwalking outdoors in bare feet sometimes took a sleeping pill, and authorities suspect he had also been drinking before he died.
Investigators found a bottle of Ambien in Timothy Brueggeman’s bedroom, but they have not determined whether he took the medication on the night of his death.
Brueggeman, 51, was found outside his rural home Tuesday morning - hours after the temperature plunged to minus 16. He was wearing only underwear and a fleece shirt, and died of hypothermia, authorities said.
Sawyer County Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle said investigators believe Brueggeman may have been drinking before he died. They were awaiting test results to determine whether he had taken Ambien and alcohol together.
Ambien, the most-prescribed sleeping pill in the nation, has been linked to hundreds of cases of sleepwalking, sleep-driving and even sleep-shoplifting. Sanofi-Aventis, which makes the drug, maintains it is safe when taken correctly and not mixed with alcohol or other drugs.
A longtime friend of Brueggeman, Ed Lesniak, said Brueggeman sometimes drank while taking Ambien.
“He was like a lot of us,” Lesniak told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. “He’d stop off after work or have a couplethroughout the evening and then take a pill to go to sleep.”
Brueggeman’s mother, Geraldine Brueggeman, of Bloomington, Minn., said she advised him to quit taking Ambien last summer after he drove his pickup truck without waking up.
Wow! Sleep-driving?Publish Post
If anyone is going to take a sleeping pill, use Trazadone pills.
