Chinese woman cured of WWII headache

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6697717.stm

A Chinese woman has been relieved of 64 years of recurrent headaches after doctors removed a bullet that had been lodged in her head since World War II.

Jin Guangying, 77, came under fire in September 1943 as she was delivering lunch to her father, a soldier stationed in eastern Jiangsu province.

An X-ray revealed a 3-cm-long bullet thought to be of Japanese origin.

Mrs Jin was a 13-year-old girl when she was shot in the head in Xinyi County, Jiangsu, during a gunfight between Chinese and Japanese soldiers. She was one of the few survivors.

Doctors removed the rusty bullet after a four-hour operation.
