In 2020 a man in Brazil went to hospital with back pain and found out that it was caused by an extra kidney! That's right! Although it's incredibly rare with only 100 cases recorded in history, you can actually have three kidneys, and stranger yet they will all function normally with no abnormal side effects in most cases. Doctors made the unusual discovery while giving him a CT scan for a herniated disc and even after discovering the condition they just sent him home with some meds to treat his pain. #shorts #kidney #humanbody #medical #doctor
