Organization skills — level 90

15. Tallest man ever
Although Sultan’s height sounds impressive, he would’ve seemed short in front of Robert Wadlow. Born in the U.S., Robert holds the GWR for the tallest man ever — his height measured at a dazzling 2.72 m!

13, 14. Tallest living man and shortest living woman
With an unbelievable height measuring at 251 cm, Sultan Kösen from Turkey is named the world’s tallest man alive. Jyoti Amge from India on the other hand is only 62.8 cm tall, which makes her the shortest woman alive. Think about it — Sultan is almost 4 times taller than the adorable Jyoti!

12. Smallest waist
If you think that the Kardashians have the biggest waist to hip ratio, think again. The amazing Cathie Jung from the USA has a waist measuring at only 38.1 cm in diameter!

11. Longest beard
A Canadian man, Sarwan Singh looks more like a genie from a lamp than a regular guy! His beard is incredible. Measuring at a length of 2.495 m, it is considered to be the longest beard in the world.

10. Longest eyelashes
Another incredible Chinese woman on our list is You Jianxia, a record holder for the longest eyelashes in the world. Her lashes are measured at 12.40 cm. Interesting fact: You Jianxia says that she noticed the unprecedented growth of her lashes only in 2013 after the woman started a nature retreat.

9. Longest hair

Xie Qiuping from China has the longest hair in the world, measured to be 5.627m long. The woman says that she stopped cutting her hair when she was 13. Perhaps the story of Rapunzel isn’t a fairytale after all?

8. Tallest mohawk
Nothing says ‘punk’ like a rockin’ mohawk. And perhaps no one loves mohawks more than Eric Hahn, who in 2008 had the tallest mohawk measured at 68.58 cm. We wonder how much hair spray it took to achieve this record.

7. Longest fingernails ever (male and female)

Wolverine would’ve certainly been jealous of these claws! Two U.S. citizens, Melvin Booth and Lee Redmond hold the record for the longest (respectively) male and female nails ever. These things must’ve taken a lot of time to grow.

6. Widest mouth

Francisco Domingo Joaquim “Chiquinho” has a very unique feature — he holds the record for the world’s widest mouth. This guy from Angola can open his mouth up to 17 cm wide. Now, that’s what we call jaw-dropping!

5. The most tattooed seniors

Meet a lovely couple from the U.S., Charles Helmke and Charlotte Guttenberg. Both of them are record-breaking tattoo lovers and have been named the most tattooed senior citizens. Charles’ body is 97.5% covered with tattoos, Charlotte’s is 91.5% covered.

4. Most piercings in the tongue
Another big piercing fan on our list is Frank Vacca from the U.S. His tongue is the most pierced one in the history with a whopping 20 piercings through it!

3. Most flesh tunnels on a face

Joel Miggler from Germany is one unique person. He holds the record for the most flesh tunnels in a face. As of November 2014, the number his face tunnel count was at an unbelievable 11, with two large ones in right through his cheeks.

2. Most piercings in their lifetime

Elaine Davidson, a former restaurant owner from Brazil, is famous for her unconditional love of piercings. Elaine got her first one in 1997 and since then has has been pierced more than 4,225 times. And she has no intention to stop.

In a world of 8 billion people, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. These people in our list, however, have been successful at getting some serious attention. While some of them are born with their extra talents and features, others have achieved recognition thanks to some persistence and creativity.

1. The stretchiest skin

Garry Turner from the UK is a real life Elastic Man. His skin is so flexible that it stretches out up to 15.8 cm. Garry’s incredible flexibility is due to a rare medical condition known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome — a genetic disorder that causes hyper-mobility of joints and hyper-extensibility of skin.

Doctor Removes Wrong Testicle During Surgery
In 2013, Steven Hanes was scheduled for surgery at J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania to remove a painful and
damaged right testicle. He underwent the surgery, but the doctor mistakenly excised the left testicle instead.

Dr. Valley Spencer Long claimed that he mistook Hanes’s right testicle for the left one because the two testicles had somehow switched positions. Hanes took legal action against the surgeon and the hospital and was awarded $870,000.

Doctor Removes Woman’s Reproductive Organs Instead Of Appendix
In March 2015, an unnamed woman living in the UK went to a hospital managed by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust and complained of abdominal pain . Tests revealed that she had appendicitis, and she was scheduled for surgery to have her appendix removed.

However, the surgeon removed an ovary and fallopian tube instead. The surgeon responsible for the error passed it off as a minor mistake and blamed it on poor vision. He added that the wormlike look of the appendix and fallopian tube confused him.

UK medical authorities didn’t agree. This was the third botched surgery for this doctor within two years. In September 2013, he had removed some fat from a patient who also needed an appendectomy. The patient was in extreme pain until he underwent another surgery a month later.

In another patient, the doctor removed a skin tag instead of a cyst. The doctor apologized for the mistakes, but he was banned from treating more patients.

Healthy One-Day-Old Boy Mistakenly Gets A Frenulectomy

The University Medical Center in Lebanon, Tennessee, got its fair share of medical never events after a one-day-old baby named Nate underwent a tongue-clipping surgery (frenulectomy) he didn’t need. This surgery removes the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth.

A surgeon had specifically sent for baby Nate, and a nurse had gone to take him from his mother, Jennifer Melton. Jennifer didn’t ask questions because she assumed that Nate was being taken for a regular postnatal checkup. She only realized that Nate had undergone surgery when the nurse started educating her about the benefits of the procedure.

Jennifer checked whether the baby given to her was really Nate because she knew that he was healthy and didn’t require surgery. The nurse later confirmed the details and realized that the pediatrician had operated on the wrong baby. The doctor apologized for the mix-up, but Jennifer called her lawyers.

Healthy Patient Loses A Healthy Kidney During Surgery He Didn’t Need

An unnamed patient at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, was left with one kidney after doctors mistook him for someone else. The real patient, whose CT scan revealed the presence of a tumor on his kidney, was supposed to undergo surgery to remove it.
However, the patient with the healthy kidney was somehow wheeled into surgery instead. The error was discovered after post-surgery tests revealed that the excised kidney was healthy.

The hospital staff was blamed for the incident as they did not follow proper
identification protocols. While both patients had the same name, which was the cause of the confusion, they had different ages. If the staff had paid more attention, they would have realized that they had the wrong man.

Doctor Amputates Wrong Leg During Surgery And Another Patient’s Toe Without Permission

In February 1995, Dr. Rolando R. Sanchez found himself in trouble after he amputated the healthy leg of 52-year-old Willie King instead of the other diseased leg. Sanchez was already cutting the wrong leg when a nurse looked through the patient’s file and started crying. It was then that Sanchez was informed that he had been working on the wrong leg.

Sanchez denied responsibility for the error and shifted it to other staff members involved in the surgery. The blackboard in the operating room listed the wrong leg for amputation. So did the operating room schedule and the hospital computer.

The wrong leg had also been prepared for surgery prior to the doctor’s arrival. Sanchez added that he didn’t realize that he was cutting the wrong leg because it was also diseased and might have needed to be removed in the future .

Sanchez’s license was suspended in July 1995 after he botched a second surgery. This time, he amputated the toe of Mildred Shuler without her consent. Shuler was undergoing surgery to remove diseased tissue in her right foot when, according to the doctor, a diseased bone “popped.” He decided to remove it to prevent an infection.

Elderly Woman Dies After Receiving Brain Surgery For A Jaw Displacement

The staff at Oakwood Hospital in Michigan found themselves in hot water after they made 81-year-old Bimla Nayyar undergo a brain surgery she didn’t need. The water got even hotter after Nayyar slipped into unconsciousness and died 60 days later.
Nayyar was admitted to Oakwood Hospital in January 2012 for a displaced jaw. The treatment was supposed to be an easy one until a CT scan revealed that she was bleeding in the brain. Although the scan actually belonged to another patient, the hospital staff thought it was Nayyar’s and quickly planned an emergency surgery.

In the operating theater, five holes were made in Nayyar’s head before the right side of her skull was sawed open. Doctors only realized their error after they couldn’t find any evidence of bleeding in her brain. They informed her family of the error but didn’t inform them of its severity.

Nayyar never regained consciousness after the surgery and remained on life support for 60 days until the ventilator was switched off on March 11, 2012. Her family filed a lawsuit and was awarded $21 million.

Wrong Patient Undergoes Brain Surgery

In 2018, Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya made the news after a patient underwent a brain surgery intended for another patient. Both men were wheeled into the hospital unconscious and kept in the same ward. However, they somehow ended up with each other’s identification tag and the wrong one ended up in the operating theater.

The patient who required surgery had a blood clot in his brain, while the other simply had a swollen head. Surgeons wheeled the patient with the swollen head into the operating theater.

But they didn’t realize that they had the wrong man until two hours later when they didn’t find a blood clot in the brain.
Hospital authorities suspended the neurosurgeon, anesthetist, and two nurses who were involved with the surgery. In a twist of fate , the patient who was supposed to have the surgery no longer needed it as his situation was already improving.
