       This article is about a former South Korean president Roh Tae-woo, he 78 years old and has been in poor health since 2002 when he received surgery for prostate cancer. He was released from Seoul National University Hospital on Monday after surgery to remove the 2.6 inch needle. His doctors was confused on how that needle end up in his lungs. He had to got threw many different procedures , one was  penetrating the lung.

      I feel like this is very wierd , I never heard of a person getting a needle stuck in they lungs. I sure he was in lots of pain just living with that in his lungs. I also know that it was very different for a doctor to get that out his lungs without messing up any things in his body.
