Amidst the hustle and bustle of Delhi's Moolchand Hospital, a young boy's life hung in the balance after he accidentally swallowed a five-rupee coin. Shubham Mishra, son of Umashankar Mishra, found himself in a precarious situation when the coin lodged itself in his throat, posing a potentially fatal risk. Despite the absence of symptoms, an X-ray revealed the alarming truth: a currency coin lay nestled within his stomach.
Swift action was imperative, and Dr. Rishi Raman, leading a dedicated team at Moolchand Hospital, stepped up to the challenge. With precision and expertise, they administered anesthesia and performed the delicate Roth net procedure to extract the coin, averting a tragedy that loomed dangerously close.
