In a rare and shocking medical case, a 19-year-old electrician in Pune was found with seven metal screws inside his body—five in his lungs and two in his stomach. The bizarre incident happened after the young man suffered a severe electric shock at work, causing him to fall unconscious. During the episode, he accidentally inhaled five screws and swallowed two.

Doctors at DPU Super Specialty Hospital in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, led by renowned pulmonologist Dr. M. S. Barthwal, conducted a high-risk, three-hour flexible bronchoscopy procedure to extract the screws from his lungs. Fortunately, the two screws that had entered his abdomen were passed out naturally, avoiding the need for surgery.

The hospital praised the effort, calling it a complex but successful intervention. The patient is now in stable condition and recovering well. Medical experts termed the case as “extremely rare” and highlighted the importance of timely diagnosis and advanced technology in modern healthcare.
