Doctors at the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) recently removed from the airway of a two-year-old boy a peanut that he had aspirated at his house in Tiruppur. The toddler was first rushed to a private hospital in Tiruppur where doctors found that the peanut was lodged in his left main bronchus. As attempts to remove it failed, the private hospital referred the child to the CMCH on Tuesday evening. A team comprising A.R. Ali Sultan, Head of the Department of ENT, associate professor V. Saravanan and assistant professor M. Nallasivam from the department, and Professor Kalyanasundaram, assistant professors Madana Gopal and Anita from the Department of Anaesthesiology removed the peanut through rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia on Wednesday morning.
“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
