This is a follow-up to kerren's article on the woman whose grandparents are believed to have inserted 26 needles into her body.

Doctors in China have saved the life of a woman who had 26 pins and needles inserted into her body when she was a child in an apparent attempt to change her sex to a boy.

The objects were discovered when the 29-year-old woman, named in local papers as Luo Cuifen, went to hospital for a check-up after she started experiencing blood in her urine.

The source above also has sme amazing (and non-gross) pictures of the needle locations, as well as of the media frenzy surrounding the operation itself.
