A 12 Year Old boy recently underwent surgery to remove a swallowed fish in central India’s Khargone district.

Anil Barela was playing a common game amongst his young peers in a local river where the object of the game was to try and catch live fish and swallow them whole.

This isn’t normally an issue, however Anil somehow managed to actually inhale the nine centimeter fish placing the fish in his lungs rather than his stomach.

The young boy quickly realized that he was having trouble breathing and was rushed to a nearby hospital. The small fish had caused a massive lung obstruction, thereby resulting in a rapid decline in blood oxygen levels causing the doctors to operate immediately on the struggling boy.

According to Dr. Pramod Jhawar, the operation lasted a total of 45 minutes while they removed the fish from the lung.

The doctor also stated that “the fish was alive and taking its last breath when the bronchoscopy was done.”

Unfortunately, the fish did not live much longer once removed from the young boy’s lung

Lots of weird shit in India. I just read about a 70 year old woman who had to have maggots removed from her nose.

How would the fish get into the lungs from swallowing it, is that even possible?

Yes. Patients with medical conditions that cause dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) often end up with food in their lungs.

Yes, the poor fishy died. Don't you have any empathy for a poor little fishy. Cardinal felt so bad he can't eat his muffin and you MISSED IT!

Cardy, what kind of muffin is it? If it's a morning glory I will take it off your hands!
