Doctors Warn Against Leaving Batteries Laying Around

DOCTORS WARN AGAINST LEAVING BATTERIES LAYING AROUND, AS CHILDREN MAY SWALLOW THEM

Doctors are warning parents against leaving small batteries lying around, after a 3 years old boy's intestine was punctured after he swallowed a battery.

Doctor Sommai Rojananukoonphong (สมหมาย โรจนานุกูลพงษ์), the chief of surgical doctors at Nakhornphing (นครพิงค์) hospital, has warned parents to keep wristwatch batteries in safe places as leaving them laying around may endanger children.

Recently a 3-year-old boy from Hangdon (หางดง) district in Chiang Mai had fallen ill with an aching stomach. Doctors found a 1-centimeter sized battery attached to the upper wall of the urine bladder. This had caused the inflammation of the stomach lining and a puncture at the Meckel point in the small intestine.

The boy is now safe, and he will be able to return home within a week.

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

I have a spare car battery in the car port. Should I hide it?

I would hide it if I were you.

It might be painful if it got lodged in your Meckel Point and if if were to puncture your urine bladder you might have to stop drinking for an hour.
