A teen in Turkey who got admitted in hospital for stomach pain, got a 3-foot-long charging cable stuck in his stomach removed by surgeons at hospital. The cringe-worthy incident reported from Turkey was recently reported by Mirror, and occurred in Diyarbakir, south-eastern Turkey. The 15-year-old boy got admitted to the Firat University Hospital in Elazig, 3 hours away from his city’s hospital, following which a surgery was performed on the teen.
According to reports, the teen was rushed to the hospital after he developed symptoms of nausea and agonizing stomach ache. Some primary tests and an x-ray showed that the boy was moving around with a plastic-coated object in his stomach, waiting to be digested or be plucked out by an external force.
The boy was immediately put in an ambulance, and was rushed to the Firat University Hospital, three hours away from his hometown. The specialists at the hospital took a look at the boy’s reports, and were shocked as to how the boy gulped down the plastic-coated object.
Soon, gastroenterologist Yasar Dogan and his team of experts conducted an endoscope procedure, and pulled out a 3-foot-long headphone charging cable from the boy’s stomach.
“After the procedure was successfully concluded, the patient was sent home in good health,” Dr Dogan said after the successful surgery.
