Have you ever wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records? Canistus Coonghe of Sri Lanka is. He’s secured fame by growing the largest (by volume and weight) kidney stone in the world.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Are you jealous of Mr. Coonghe?
Doctors in Colombo sugically removed the kidney stone, which was larger than the actual kidney in which it previously resided.* It measures over 5 by 4 inches across and weighs 1.76 pounds.
Mr. Coonghe’s doctors reported that the rather stretched kidney had been working well prior to the operation. He’s now recovering and, let us hope, taking joy in his fame.
