Now this is what we called a MIRACLE.
Doctors have removed a bullet from the heart of a Vietnamese soldier 39 years after he was shot by U.S. troops.
Le Dinh Hung, 60, was in surgery for three hours as the 2.5cm bullet was taken out at a Hanoi hospital on Friday.
Dr. Nguyen Sinh Hien, who operated, said the bullet went through Mr Hung’s stomach, damaged his cardiac valve and lodged at the back of his heart.
