In a life-saving operation at King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, Dr Ankur Bajaj and his team successfully removed an iron rod from the head and shoulder of a three-year-old boy, named Kartik, who fell 20 feet from a terrace while playing on Janmashtami. The boy’s parents had initially approached a private hospital, which quoted INR 15 lakh for the surgery, but turned to KGMU, where the operation was completed for just INR 25,000. The six-hour procedure posed extreme challenges, including positioning the child safely with the rod still embedded and cutting it without causing further injury. Dr Bajaj led a team of neurosurgeons and trauma specialists, coordinating efforts even as his own mother was receiving treatment in the same hospital. After the successful surgery, Kartik remains in the Paediatric ICU, with stable vitals and showing gradual improvement. The child’s father praised the doctors, calling KGMU a "temple" and the medical team "Gods" for their extraordinary skill and courage.
