India (our glorious and beloved motherland) does continue to astound, confound, befuddle and mystify us in equal measure what ever with 12 small gold bars being extricated from the stomach by a team of doctors and so on and so forth.........
Surgeons who performed an abdominal operation in a New Delhi hospital were left wondering what had happened when they performed the surgery on the patient in order to extract a bottle cap that was reportedly causing him acute discomfort and distress but found 12 small gold bars lodged in the patient's stomach instead of the said bottle cap........
The 63 year old prosperous businessman who is a long time resident of Old Delhi's famed and historic Chandni Chowk area was admitted toi the national capital's renowned Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on April 7 after complaining of constant vomitting and acute distress in passing motions/stools after he had purportedly swallowed a water bottle cap........
According to Dr. C.S.Ramachandran, senior consulting surgeon at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital; an abdominal scan, MRI scan and series of X rays failed to show any signs whatsoever of the said water bottle cap but did allude to the presence of 12 small gold bars within the patient's abdominal wall.........
On being intensely questioned by the team of doctors, the 63 year old businessman willingly revealed the startling and disturbing fact that he had indeed swallowed 12 small gold bars in Singapore some 10 days ago or so (around march 27 or so).........
He also disclosed the fact that these small gold bars were worth more than Rs. 12 lakh in the Indian market and that he had swallowed the same in order to avoid paying the hefty customs duty that would have otherwise become applicable on the same.as also escape from the clutches of the "greedy and avaricious customs officers" (as he termed them)..........
A team of doctors operated on the patient and opened up his abdominal wall in order to extricate the foreign metal that was causing him acute distress and other health related complications..........
"The patient also told me that he was more than optimistic about his ability to regurgitate the gold bars out of his system through his stools but was dismayed and perturbed when he could not do the same for 10 days or more, he only approached us when the pain got unbearable and when he had crossed his pain related threshold" Dr. Ramachandran said........
However all is well that ends well, the team of doctors handed the now infamous gold bars to the hospital's medical superintendent when the patient failed to cough up a clear, coherent, convincing and cogent reply about the ownership and antecedents of the same............
The patient was duly discharged from the hospital on April 15 and the offending gold bars were duly handed over to the concerned authorities by the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital's Medical Superintendent........
And thereby hangs a tale of greed, avarice, misplaced sense of priorities, inflicting untold miseries upon oneself as long as one was surely to benefit in the bargain and last but not the least avoid the due processes of the law in order to save a few thousand (?????) or then is it lakh rupees........swallowing small gold bars in order to hoodwink the authorities, whatever will Indian businessmen conjure up next.....
