the doctors at the Police General Hospital have finally recovered the six-carat diamond swallowed by a Chinese woman last Thursday at a jewellery fair in an attempted theft.
16:40 Thai TV Channel 3 has just reported that doctors at the Police General Hospital have recovered the diamond from a Chinese woman's body. The channel showed photos of a doctor showing off the diamond in the middle of a smiling group of medical staff. The woman, who swallowed the diamond last Thursday in an attempted theft, is well but visibly very weak.
Post Today reports this evening that the woman, Jiang Zulian, agreed to the medical procedure which took only 12 minutes to complete. A special type of forceps was used as was a colonoscope, a camera connected to a flexible tube, to help doctors see inside the large intestine.
