Man tries to commit suicide by swallowing spoons


A Romanian man says he was trying to commit suicide by swallowing five teaspoons.

The man had intended swallowing some bottle caps and another two teaspoons. However he stopped after the fifth teaspoon.

The doctor that treated the man said: "The ostrich man, as we call him, is one of our regular clients He was brought here for swallowing pills, pieces of string or plastic but the spoons is something new".

After the man was treated he was transferred to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.
