Despite postoperative ICU care and a slow recovery complicated by malnutrition, the patient returned home after three weeks with arranged community follow-up support.
An 8-year-old boy from an affluent Kolkata family was brought in after swallowing a small toy part that lodged in his appendix, causing unusual abdominal pain.

At my age, one doesn't look forward to hospital visits. I was quite anxious when my son insisted I see Dr. Aakanksha Malawat at Manipal Dhakuria. From the moment I entered her room, she put me at ease. She spoke clearly, listened patiently to my old complaints, and explained everything about my new medication without rushing. The hospital itself is very clean and calm, which helped. I left feeling looked after, not just treated.
