The breast job that saved a life

Hospital: Shrapnel from rocket lodged in implants, sparing Israeli woman.

JERUSALEM - An Israeli woman's breast implants saved her life when she was wounded in a Hezbollah rocket attack during Israel's war with the Lebanese group, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.

Doctors found shrapnel embedded in the silicone implants, just inches from the 24-year-old’s heart.

She was saved from death," said a spokesman for Nahariya Hospital in northern Israel. The woman has been released from hospital.
