"Safety" Pin Proves Unsafe
I came across an article about how an open "Safety" Pin was surgically operated & removed from the stomach of an eight-month old baby. Apparently, the pin had remained in the child's body (stuck into some part of the stomach, "safely") for over a month before it was discovered and removed surgically.
The cause:
The pin, which was attached by the mother to her chain / mangalsootra, must have been swallowed by the child inadvertantly when it was being hugged/carried by the mother.
Can't mothers be more careful - at least till their children grow up a bit more?
Regards,
