It is said that human beings must control their anger, otherwise the result can be bad. One such strange incident has come to light from Kodha in Katihar district, adjacent to Purnia. The incident took place by Dilip Mahto, a resident of the area. He could not control his anger and drank acid after being fed up with family strife. Due to this, his condition started deteriorating and the people of the house kept visiting the hospital one after the other to save his life. They had to be disappointed everywhere. Where there was hope of treatment, expensive expenses were reported. In such a situation, he fought life and death for 45 days without food and water. After this, he got the hope of treatment at the Government Medical College GMCH in Purnea.
Kalpana Devi, wife of the patient Dilip Mahato, says that her husband had drunk acid about 45 days before Holi due to family disputes. After this, his condition started deteriorating and he started getting upset day and night due to direct vomiting after eating food. Exhausted from all sides, he reached Purnia Government Medical College. Here the doctors admitted him. Doctors here successfully operated on her husband’s intestine. He is healthy now. The patient’s wife and others in his family thanked the hospital management and the doctors present and thanked him as an angel.
Dr. Sanjay Kumar, Superintendent of Purnia GMCH Hospital, who performed this complex operation, also appreciated the hard work and courage of all the doctors. This is their biggest religion. Dr. Tarkeshwar Kumar (Head of Department, Department of Surgery), Dr. Amar, Dr. Aparajita Murchak (Anaesthesia), Dr. Vikas Kumar (Specialist Medical Officer, Department of Anesthesia), the entire team including Dr. Dennis, Dr. Ashish, Dr. Ashutosh, Dr. Rishabh, Ashwani, Dr. Suman, Sulekha, Babu Narayan and Dr. Ajay successfully carried out this challenging operation with about one and a half hours of hard work. This is a big achievement for Purnea Government Medical College.
Patients survived Dr. Tarkeshwar Kumar said that the patient had severe gastric outlet obstruction caused by acid consumption. Due to this, the lower part of his stomach was severely damaged. For the last one and a half months, whatever food he used to eat used to come out through vomit. Due to this, his weight started falling regularly. Due to this, the situation started getting serious. The patients reached the surgery department of the Government Medical College and Hospital Purnia, where the acid-burnt part was identified by the endoscopy examination. Then the patient’s complex operation called Gastrojejunostomy was successfully done. Now the patients are completely healthy.
