EARLY TIMES DELHI BUREAU
NEW DELHI, JULY 26: Lata is a 49-year-old woman. She has become a big hit, literally, in Jaipur, capital city of Rajasthan, with her unprecedented delivery. Yes, her stomach delivered objects that none had ever imagined.
Lata's delivery was in the form of iron nails, magnets, locks, coins, glass bangles and anklets her stomach had. Doctors in Jaipur at the government SMS hospital took these things out after performing an operation on Lata. The operation, reports from Jaipur said, lasted two hours.
Dr KC Gupta, a senior surgeon at the hospital, was quoted as saying: “Lata was admitted here after she complained of severe stomach pain. After a complete check-up the hospital prescribed her sonography test to diagnose the problem. Astonishingly, the test revealed objects like iron nails, coins, locks, magnets, bangles in her stomach. We decided to go for a surgery after consulting her relatives".
After the two-hour operation, the doctors were out with several objects like small locks, magnate, and one, two and five rupees coins, the 'mangalsutra' (a gold necklace worn by married Hindu women) from her stomach. In all about 50 coins, two locks, one mangalsutra, four glass bangles, one silver coin, iron screws, nails and pieces of magnets were taken out.
Dr Gupta said, "Owing to these metallic and glass objects the lady was undergoing a severe pain. It is really the pieces of magnet, which saved her life. Had she not swallowed the magnates, most of these objects would have damaged her organs severely. Owing to the presence of magnetic force the objects remained glued with it".
Later discussing with the relatives, doctors discovered that it was Lata's anger that really took the lady close to her death. And a relative of hers was quoted as divulging: "Whenever she used to loose her temper, she would start eating and swallowing the metallic objects". |
