Ghaziabad Surgeons Remove 29 Spoons, 19 Toothbrushes and 2 Pens From Rehab Patient

The 35-year-old from Hapur says he acted out of anger over poor care, with clinicians describing the behavior as rooted in psychological problems.

The man reportedly used to steal the spoons, take them to the bathroom, break them into pieces and push them down his throat.

Overview

  • The patient, identified as Sachin, had been admitted by his family to a de-addiction centre in Hapur for substance use treatment.
  • After severe abdominal pain, imaging at Ghaziabad’s Devanandani Hospital revealed numerous foreign objects; an endoscopic attempt failed, prompting surgery.
  • Hospital officials said the operation was successful and the patient is now recovering.
  • Sachin alleges meagre food portions and missing snacks at the facility prompted him to swallow utensils and other items, a claim not independently verified.
  • A treating doctor said such extreme ingestion is often linked to psychological disorders, and reports cite similar cases in Muzaffarnagar in 2022 and Mandi in 2019.
