In a “have to believe” incident, doctors here found two, two inch long nails inside the body of a two year old baby.

Parents brought the baby from a village near Kushalnagar to Madikeri. They complained that the baby is ill. Treatment by the local doctors their proved futile.

An X ray was taken at madikeri. The doctors were baffled to find two nails inside the body of the baby! One was settled inside the nose. Another was stored or stuck in the heart region! The parents were sent to Mangalore. The doctors peformed operation yesterday and removed the nail from the heart region. But they are worried about the other nail in the nose region. It will be removed in matter of days, they said. Baby is recovering.

Doctors have advised the parents to be careful while grooming their children and keep a watch about their activities.
