Two iron rods impaled Mumbai construction worker Rajendra Pal when he slipped and fell onto them at a building site, with one of the rods going straight through his liver.

Somehow, Pal survived.


quote:

"The patient was conscious when he was brought to the hospital. Dr Jitendra Sankpal, senior surgeon at GT hospital told India news agency Newslion.



quote:

"However, the man was lucky as the rods did not puncture his lungs or other vital organs," he said.

The doctor added that "It was a very difficult operation. The first rod that came out though his chest barely missed the patient's heart by one inch.

The surgeon said his patient “is out of danger now” following a three-hour surgery.

Luckily doctors moved quickly to save him, applying a poultice of elephant tusk and monkey dung and saying a prayer to ward off malevolent spirits

Really quite shocking. India is notorious for its safety standards.

There’s a double penetration joke here. You people are slipping if I have to point these things out.
