An Algerian discovers after 26 years of pain that the doctor forgot a knife in his back!

An Algerian young man discovered a knife stuck in his back in 1996, without him or the doctors paying attention to the "foreign body" throughout his years of suffering.

Young Fares from the state of Setif in northeastern Algeria continues his life with a knife stuck in his back for 26 years, after he was stabbed in 1996.

A report by the Algerian newspaper "Al-Shorouk" indicated that the young man underwent an operation after he was stabbed, after which the doctor closed the wound, leaving the knife in his body.

The young Fares continued to take painkillers over the past years with the intensification of his pain, until he was recently discovered after he visited a doctor in Setif and took an x-ray, to find a foreign body in his back.

And the doctor believed, according to the Algerian newspaper, that there was a defect in the imaging device, which made him ask the patient to take a picture in another clinic.
