Uttar Pradesh: Doctors remove 63 spoons from man's stomach

According to Ajay Chaudhary, the patient's nephew, "We had brought our uncle here in a private hospital as he complained of severe stomach ache and was diagnosed having numerous spoons in his stomach. We had admitted him to a deaddiction centre a year ago where it seems he was forced to consume these spoons."

Dr Rakesh Khurana, the doctor who operated upon Vijay, said, "He was brought to me 15 days back, and in the X-ray, we found something metallic in his stomach and large intestines. When I asked the patient, he said he was made to eat those spoons. The operation went on for two hours. We have never done this kind of extraction before."

All the heads of all the spoons were removed before consumption.

As of now, no police complaint has been filed in the matter.

The doctors said they cannot say with certainty when the patient had consumed these spoons.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that months after an Agra-based doctor had been showered with praises after a video of her saving a newborn by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), went viral on social media in March, the video had once again gone viral on social media, with various users hailing her as a God.

The video has been viewed more than 10 lakh times. The doctor has been identified as Dr. Surekha Suruse Chaudhary, a paediatrician at a Community Health Centre (CHC) in Uttar Pradesh's Agra who successfully helped in the normal delivery of a patient, following which there was no movement of the baby.
