Calling it one of the “rarest of rare surgeries”, Dr M C Mishra, chief of the AIIMS Trauma Centre, said: “We were astonished when he was brought to the hospital. But we planned the surgery meticulously. We had to decide how to extricate the rod which had fortunately missed his vital organs.”
On July 12, Dutta was on his way to his Gurgaon office when his driver lost control and collided with the construction barricades on the Gurgaon-Mehrauli road. The impact of the collision caused the iron rod to pierce through the dashboard and impale Dutta.
The rod remained embedded inside his body for 90 minutes before he was taken to hospital. Dutta, however, did not lose consciousness and instead called his relatives and friends on the phone. Locals cut the rod and rushed him to AIIMS. “Fortunately, they did not try to extricate the rod from Dutta’s body. Had they done that, it could have proved fatal,” a doctor at AIIMS said.
The surgery was not an easy one. “To start with, anesthesia was an issue because Dutta could not lie down, so we had to anaesthetise him in a sitting position. It was not a standard operation but fortunately we were successful,” Mishra said.
Dutta will have to remain in the hospital for the next two weeks. “While there is no long-lasting damage, he is at risk of infection and will stay under observation,” Mishra explained. The doctor said Dutta is talking and is being allowed to walk around a little. “He is doing a few breathing exercises and has not complained of any pain in the affected area. He did complain about some pain in the neck but that was due to being anaesthetised in a sitting position,” Mishra said.
Its an irony that a young man was suffering his life and people around were shamelessly taking snaps and recording clips. This youth had to call his family HIMSELF. Shame on this civilization! People in this part of the world are living like animals. infact animals would fare better! I can not think of any other society better fit for inhilation than ours. Its a shame indeed.I am personally moved by the gesture of this youth. His guts are worth the salute of the billion up on their feets.The whole of media is talking about Supratim’s guts and the silly one liners like “Jeet gai zindagi, haar gai maut!”Guess what? If a person, in this country, who owns a car and kills a cock under his car by accident, the whole country goes on a rampage and will settle for nothing less than the head of the poor car owner. How come absolutely NO ONE is even bothered to ask the question “Where in the name of god is the driver of the car?” Why is his negligent driving not questioned? Why is on one asking for his head? Or is it that the so called “poor” are the first childern of this country and people who have struggled their lives out to reach the stature of owning a car are all goons and step childern of India?
Was it not a miracle of our surgery
