Frustrated 98-year-old bypasses doctors to cut off ‘finger-sized’ growth, starts bleeding profusely; ends up in critical condition
A 98-year-old grandma has caused public shock by cutting off a hornlike growth on her forehead using a pair of scissors.
The “horn” is a traditional symbol of longevity in Chinese folklore.
The woman, surnamed Gu, 98, from Shanghai, had been living with the growth on her for several years.
It measured around 3 to 4 centimetres in diameter and, after removal, was reportedly as long as a finger.
