Surgeons remove high-power magnets from New Zealand teenager's intestines

A 13-year-old boy in New Zealand swallowed up to 100 high-power magnets he bought online, forcing surgeons to remove tissue from his intestines, doctors said on Friday. After suffering four days of abdominal pain, the unnamed teen was taken to Tauranga hospital in the North Island. He disclosed ingesting approximately 80 to 100 5x2mm high-power (neodymium) magnets about one week prior, said a report by hospital doctors in the New Zealand Medical Journal.
