We’ve all heard the horror stories of finding band aids or flies in school cafeteria food. Now the trend has moved to hospitals, as a patient in Finland found an unappetizing mouse head in his steamed vegetables.
The man did not finish his meal after discovering the furry creature. I wouldn’t have either. But I can’t help but wonder, where is the body?
The Northern Karelia Central Hospital could not explain the origin of the mouse. Officials did say that the patient did not suffer any health collapses due to the incident. They also defended the hospital’s reputation.
After an investigation, an administrator concluded that the severed head most likely came from Belgium. However, the body could be anywhere in Europe by now.
So, check your vegetables if you plan to visit.
