"To confirm the diagnosis, an endoscopy was done which showed a few metallic knives inside the stomach. After that a CT Scan of the abdomen was done, which showed multiple knives inside the stomach. In my 20 years of practice, this is the most dreadful surgery I have ever seen or done." Dr Malhotra added that the man was now out of danger.
