In Karelia, doctors were able to perform a miracle.
Doctors managed to save the life of a boy who was hit in the head with a hook.
The Minister of Health of Karelia, Mikhail Okhlopkov, wrote about this on his page on the social network Vkontakte.
A 13-year-old boy was working out on a swimming pool machine when disaster struck. The carabiner holding the line of the lane broke and the hook smashed through the child's skull, penetrating his brain.
A neurosurgeon and an anesthesiologist traveled to the Sortavala Central Regional Hospital to perform the surgical intervention. The doctors consulted with their colleagues from St. Petersburg and performed the delicate operation.
The head physician of the Central Regional Hospital also joined the team’s work immediately after he completed the previous operation.
It is noted that the victim's condition is stable, the child is breathing on his own.
