Here is today's medical WTF:

An Iranian man who lost his keys 16 years ago was shocked to find they'd been embedded in his leg all along.

The 50-year-old man felt a strong pain in his leg and was taken to the hospital.

An X-ray showed the keys were lodged in his leg.

The man accidentally fired a rifle 16 years ago, injuring himself in the leg, says nbc10 news.

The bullet was removed but the keys that were lodged in his leg along with the bullet were left there.

Don't feel too badly for him. He was probably shooting at an American.

Sad how some still don't know that Iraqis are different than Iranians. FYI: Iraqi's have been shooting at Americans.

16 years ago, Iranians were probably shooting at Iraqis, no?
