Nashik, Maharashtra: Doctors at a Nashik hospital saved a 5-year-old girl's life after she accidentally got a Rs 2 coin stuck in her throat.
Vaishnavi Mali, a resident of Maharashtra's Manmad town, was given a Rs 2 coin by her grandfather so she could go buy a chocolate. Vaishnavi was playing with the coin when she put it in her mouth and it got stuck in her throat.
She was rushed to Manmad's sub-district civil hospital when her parents found out what happened, where doctors referred her to the civil hospital in Nashik, according to the head of the Ear-Nose and Throat department at the hospital, Sanjay Gangurde.
The coin was removed after a telescopic surgery was performed on Vaishnavi. "I along with surgeon Sachin Pawar and Dr Siddharth Shelke performed a telescopic surgery on Vaishnavi and removed the coin from her throat," Mr Gangurde told news agency Press Trust of India.
