20. Baba helped Smt. K. Arundati Amma and brought out the Nail from the
stomach of her son
Her son aged about ten, when playfully keeping a small iron nail in his
mouth, suddenly drew it inside his mouth. The nail instead of going into the
bowels went through the wind pipe into the lungs. There was great trouble
and consternation in the house. Doctor was called in. The day after this,
the boy was taken to the general Hospital. X-Ray Photos were taken and then
the doctors gave the boy chloroform and then passed a magnet wire through
his mouth into his lungs and tried to draw out the nail. That attempt was a
failure. Five days passed. The boy was getting light temperature and could
take no nutrition. He was getting weaker and was sinking. Pus had formed in
the lungs. The doctor feared the worst would happen, unless drastic remedies
be adopted to reduce the temperature. For that purpose, the patient must
have the nail extricated, which meant chloroform very risky. When doctors
were hesitating, she declared that Baba would save the boy and the risk must
be taken. Chloroform was given and the insertion of magnetic wire on this
occasion brought out the iron nail and the boy gradually recovered his
health. Baba helped her family and saved the life of her son.
