Mehul Kumar is lucky to be alive after being speared through the torso with a 3-foot (1 metre) iron rod.
The
boy, from Jharkand, India, was rushed to the hospital after he impaled
himself falling off a terrace and onto a rod last week.
The boy
was fully conscious when he arrived at the hospital. Doctors removed the
rod during a 4-hour operation and said he had lost a lot of blood and
suffered some injuries, but "nothing major."
"Opening the abdomen,
we discovered his liver was injured, the stomach was injured, but
thankfully, the spleen and pancreas were safe," said surgeon Sandeep
Aggarwal said.
"The child was lucky that he did not suffer any major injury but yes he had substantial injuries."
