Man has metal removed from arm after accident in 1963

Arthur Lampitt displays the turning signal lever in Granite City, Illinois on January 2, 2015, that was removed from his arm during a proceedure on December 31, 2014. In 1963, the 24-year-old Lampitt was driving his Ford Thunderbird when he was involved in an accident, in East Peoria, Illinois, breaking five ribs and his hip was severely broken in several places. Because all of the blood, assumed to be from glass, doctors failed to notice a metal rod Ð the T-bird's turn signal arm. In December 2014, Lampitt noticed a protrusion in his arm and was also feeling some pain. On December 31, 2014, a specialist removed the seven-inch rod from his arm in a 45 minute procedure.
