NAGPUR: A 25-year-old man got a new lease of life after a bullet — stuck in his rib cage leading to a fracture and severe wound — was successfully removed in a surgery performed at Wockhardt Hospital in Maharashtra‘s Nagpur.
The injured person, hailing from Madhya Pradesh, had been shot by a rival in a property dispute.
The surgery — which was not possible in his hometown — was performed by Dr Sameet Pathak, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, Dr Manoj Pahukar, orthopaedic surgeon, and Dr Swanand Melag, anesthetist.
“I was shot on my left shoulder and a complicated surgery was advised,” the victim said, adding, “I recovered in five days.”
