A man in India has been found to be the only living human to exhibit back-to-front internal organs.
The rare condition known as "situs inversus" was diagnosed after surgeon's operated on the 64-year-old Indian man to remove a tumour and discovered that his internal organs and blood vessels were on the opposite side of his body.
An Indian man has ben told by doctors that all his internal organs are back-to-front in what is thought to be the only living case of "situs inversus". Doctors believe that the 64-year-old could be the only man in the world whose internal organs are in the mirror opposite position of where they should be.

This is interesting. Not only the reverse stuff but the two livers (does this mean his blood is filtered better and faster?) and the other stuff. I'm going to have to see if I can find more on this. I know people who have a similar situation. It's called braininassitis.

My Jr. High school principal had situs inversuss. I don't think it's as uncommon as the article suggests it might be.

Now, these organs are reversed as in, left is right, right is left, correct? Because if it is front is back and back is front, the man has a whole series of concerns doesn't he? Nibs
