Operation removes lightbulb from anus
MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison
inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass
lightbulb in his anus.
Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an
end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.
"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my
breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad,
a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital
bed in the southern central city of Multan.
"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at
Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a
very very complicated situation."
Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making
liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was
first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't
know the bulb was there.
"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but
later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said."I don't know who did this to me. Police or other
prisoners."
The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered
anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that
someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was
comatose.
