In a quite shocking case, a 32-year-old man from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, attempted to perform surgery on himself using YouTube tutorials. Raja Babu, a business graduate, had been experiencing mysterious stomach ache for months. Frustrated by ineffective medical consultations, he decided to take matters into his own hands—literally. He used a blade, a sedative injection, and plastic thread to cut open his abdomen and patch himself up. However, his home surgical effort swiftly became a medical emergency, necessitating his hospitalisation.
