Doctors were also surprised when 56 objects were recovered from the patient’s stomach during the surgery.
According to Indian media reports, the incident took place in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district when a 15-year-old boy complained of severe stomach pain.
The victim, Aditya, was suffering from abdominal pain and difficulty in breathing. He was initially admitted to hospitals in Hathras and then Jaipur where he was sent back home after a brief treatment.
Despite receiving treatment at several places, the boy’s condition did not improve, the report said, and the family took him to a private hospital in Aligarh, where he was injected into his nose to relieve his breathing problems. Surgery was performed to remove a lump present.
Negligence of Indian doctors, two scissors were found from the woman’s stomach after 12 years
However, after the surgery was completed, the boy’s breathing was restored properly, but there was no improvement in his stomach pain. Doctors performed an ultrasound and were shocked to see 19 objects inside her stomach. Due to this shocking revelation, the doctors shifted him to a specialized hospital in Noida for further treatment.
According to Indian media, a test conducted at a hospital in Noida revealed that there were about 56 pieces of metal inside the boy. The family then took him to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital where doctors performed an emergency major surgery on October 27.
Aditya’s father said his son died a day after the surgery, as his heart rate increased and his blood pressure dropped dangerously.
During the surgery performed by the doctors, 56 objects came out of his stomach, including watches, mobile batteries, sharp blades, nails and other metal pieces.
According to the report, the doctors said that unfortunately the 15-year-old could not survive despite the surgery and lost his life.

**Interview with Dr. Anjali Sharma, Gastroenterologist**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Sharma. We’ve recently heard a shocking story from Uttar Pradesh where a 15-year-old boy had 56 foreign objects removed from his stomach. What can you tell us about such cases?
**Dr. Sharma:** Thank you for having me. Such cases, while rare, can occur when individuals, particularly children, swallow non-food items out of curiosity or for attention. The human stomach can be quite resilient, but it is not designed to handle foreign substances, especially in such large quantities.
**Editor:** Fifty-six objects is an astonishing number. What types of objects do you typically find in cases like this?
**Dr. Sharma:** Commonly, we find items like coins, toys, batteries, and even small household items. In some rare cases, people may swallow multiple objects at once or attempt to ingest things for emotional or behavioral reasons.
**Editor:** What are the immediate actions someone should take if they witness someone choking on a foreign object?
**Dr. Sharma:** If someone is choking, it’s crucial to act quickly. First, encourage them to cough to try to dislodge the object. If that doesn’t work, call for emergency help and administer back blows followed by five abdominal thrusts, known as the Heimlich maneuver, until the object is expelled or medical help arrives.
**Editor:** What can parents do to prevent their children from swallowing foreign objects?
**Dr. Sharma:** Education is key. Parents should be vigilant about the items available to their children, keeping small objects out of reach. It’s also important to teach kids about the dangers of swallowing non-food items. Supervising young children during playtime can further minimize risks.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Sharma. It’s critical for everyone to understand the dangers of foreign object ingestion and how to respond effectively.
**Dr. Sharma:** Thank you for having me. Sharing this information can potentially save lives.
