Boy Almost Died After Swallowing 54 Magnets to See if He Would Become Magnetic.

➡️12-year-old boy swallowed 54 magnets for science.

A 12-year-old boy, Rhiley Morrison swallowed 54 magnets for an experiment to find out whether he would become magnetic. The boy, who is extremely enthusiastic about science, wanted to see if he could get metal to stick to his stomach. He swallowed the first batch on January 1st and second on January 4th. When the magnets did not pass through in due time, the boy told his mom, Paige, that he had swallowed two by accident.

Doctors performed an X-ray which showed that he had swallowed several magnets. In addition, the doctors feared that the magnets would burn through his organs and kill him. Therefore, he was immediately rushed for surgery to remove the magnets.

The surgery went on for 6 hours and he spent the next 10 days after surgery at the hospital.

His mom told the doctors that he is massively into science and loves experimenting. However, the boy later admitted that he wanted to see if the copper would stick to his belly.

“I TRIED TO STICK MAGNETS TO ME, I WANTED TO SEE IF THIS COPPER WOULD STICK TO MY BELLY WHILE THE MAGNETS WERE IN”.

The boy was unable to move for 10 straight days and had to be fed through a tube. His mom further added that he was unable to sit and was very sick throughout his recovery. She said,

“IT WAS HEARTBREAKING WATCHING HIM GO THROUGH ALL THAT, JUST HORRIBLE. I THINK IT’S ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF COVID BECAUSE HE COULDN’T HAVE ANY VISITORS. IT WAS HORRIBLE TO SEE HIM NOT ABLE TO SIT UP AND BEING SO SICK EVERY TIME HE MOVED BECAUSE THIS FLUID WAS SLOSHING AROUND INSIDE HIM. I’D MANAGED TO HOLD IT TOGETHER ALL THE TIME BUT IT WASN’T NICE SEEING HIM IN THAT MUCH PAIN”.

He was discharged from the hospital after almost 2 weeks.

According to the nurse who was attending to Rhiley, she dealt with children who have eaten magnets all the time. The doctor further said that he’d come across a case where a part of the child’s bowel had to be removed because of the damage. Rhiley was quite lucky in this case.

Pathophysiology ( how does the Coronavirus affects human body ?)      A research from China indicates that novel Coronavirus also spreads by faeco-oral transmission and not just by respiratory droplets or environmental contents. Among the key findings of the study a significant portion of Coronavirus patients experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort before an onset of respiratory Symtoms. • Faeco-oral transmission  :      Viral RNA is also detected in faecal samples in suspected cases this indicates that the virus shreds into the stools. If someone goes to public toilets and shred the virus , then touches the surrounding areas and then if any other person comes in contact with that surface , they will inoculate themselves with the virus. • Transmission by coughing and sneezing :       Respiratory droplets can infect a person within a radius of 3-6 feets. According to the type of surface, temperature, or humidity of the environment the viru

Hypertension one of the major health problem.

⚕️ HYPERTENSION   ⚕️ Definition Each time your heart beats, blood is pumped through your arteries and veins, the blood vessels of your circulatory system. Arterial blood pressure is created by the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls, as they carry blood around your body. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the pressure of the blood being pumped through your arteries is higher than it should be. High blood pressure or hypertension has been called the “silent killer”, because it often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people do not even know they have it. Over time, the constant pressure overload causes accumulating damage that eventually becomes more than your circulatory system can handle, often leading to serious health problems.  History :  The modern history of hypertension begins with the understanding of the cardiovascular system based on the work of physician William Harvey (1578–1657), who described the circulati
