Doctors could save a patient whose abdomen was fatally wounded by stab, according to Kyaikto Township Health Department.
A man who is a farm worker was stabbed in abdomen when he went back home under the influence of alcohol. “It’s not sure whether he was stabbed intentionally or being mistaken someone. He ran to his home by gently holding his tummy and yelling “mom, help me”. His parents sent him to hospital with great anxiety. The patient was bleeding too much and he was speaking though, breathing is abnormal and blood pressure dropped to zero. We had to prepare surgery in emergency,” said the township health department.
The stab wound is in critical condition; the arteries of the colon burst and the intestine breaks in pieces, breathing stops occasionally during surgery.
“A problem happened when the surgery was about to end successfully. A surgical needle was got lost when we were going to close the abdomen and we had no idea where it was. In the moment, the patient was waking up. Finally, we found the needle and we were on cloud nine like winning lottery. We just put the surgical tool incorrectly because we only focused on saving the patient,” it said.
