Cape Town - A man has been living with a broken blade in his head for two years after doctors failed to remove it after he was stabbed.
Jack Snyders, 43, said two years ago, doctors at a public hospital just stitched him up before sending him home with painkillers.
Jack said two weeks ago he burnt his arm and had to go to Hanover Park Day Hospital for treatment and there he found out about the blade.
The Philippi man said he was asked by a doctor about the metal in his ear but to his shock, it was discovered that it was actually the mes, which was positioned across his ear canal.
