Kid’s head stuck in cooker, rescued
May 10th, 2011 - 5:41 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, May 10 (IANS) A three-year-old child whose head got stuck in a pressure cooker was finally released after two hours of painstaking effort by a team of 12 doctors here.
Shivam, a resident of Rani Bagh in north Delhi, was playing with the pressure cooker Monday evening when his head got stuck.
“Shivam’s parents rushed him to a nearby clinic after his head was stuck, but they were not able to free his head. So they approached Bhagwan Mahavir Hospital in Pitampura,” one of the doctors who treated the child told IANS Tuesday.
A team of 12 doctors were finally able to free Shivam’s head after two hours.
“We first pacified the kid and soothed him as he was crying a lot. Then, we stuffed the sides of the cooker with cotton so that he doesn’t get hurt. We used metal devices like screw drivers to widen the cooker’s mouth and freed Shivam without any injury,” he added.
