Doctors at a hospital in Punjab’s Moga were in for a shock on Thursday when, while operating on a patient, they discovered earphones, lockets, screw and even rakhis inside his stomach. The 40-year old was admitted to the Medicity Hospital in Moga with high fever and stomach ache after he complained of nausea for over two days. As his stomach pain failed to subside, doctors decided to conduct an X-ray scan on his stomach to determine the cause of his pain. The results were disturbing.
The scan showed several metallic objects lodged inside the man’s stomach. After a three-hour long surgery, doctors were able to successfully remove the items from his body.
Among the almost hundred items pulled out of his stomach were earphones, washers, nuts and bolts, wires, rakhis, lockets, buttons, wrappers and a safety pin.
