 Woman Eats Melon; Burps Out Twin Boys The hospital emergency room staff was astonished when the woman, identified as Vernelle Kam McElfresh, was carried into the hospital in a large bushel basket by her husband. Doctors examined Mrs. McElfresh and determined that only one watermelon posed no danger and would probably result in a single burp. Staff physician Dr. Joe Martin, who surpervised the twin burp, said, "I've never seen anything like it. We seldom have multiple burps around here." Assisting nurses reportedly were suspicious about the woman's condition when they examined her protruding abdomen prior to the burp. One nurse was heard saying, "You don't have two of them in there, do you honey?" just as the patient was wheeled away to surgery. The twin boys were named "Baby A" and "Baby B", and weighed just over four pounds. Mrs. McElfresh had never before experienced a burp of such magnitude. The burp registered just over 6.2 on the Burpee scale.
