Rajkot: This was one challenge that looked almost like it leapt out of the pages of Ripley’s book of wonders for the doctors at Sir T hospital on Friday morning. A one-year-old girl with her head firmly stuck inside a pressure cooker was rushed in to the Bhvanagar hospital by her parents!
According to hospital administration, Priyanshi Vala was brought to the hospital with the cooker as her helmet. According to family members, the girl got into the ‘sticky situation’ while she was playing.
All hands from orthopaedic to paediatric department gathered to extricate the tiny head, but in vain.
Administrator of Sir T hospital, Hardik Gathani said, “We had to finally summon for a person who deals in utensils. He arrived with a cutter and freed the tiny-tot from her unique headgear. The family members said they tried to extricate the head at home, but in the process she received several injuries in her forehead that led to swelling. The child is now under observation as we will monitor is she has got any problem in blood circulation in the brain or spine from the incident. If we find that she is safe, we will discharge her on Saturday.”
