Man tries surgery on self after watching YouTube, ends up in hospital in agony

A 32-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh, India, took matters into his own hands — literally — after months of unexplained stomach pain. Frustrated by ineffective doctor visits, he turned to YouTube for guidance and attempted surgery on himself.

However, his desperate move ended in excruciating pain, forcing his family to rush him to the hospital.

Man does surgery guided by YouTube

According to the Times of India, the man, Raja Babu, had been experiencing a mysterious stomach ache for four months.

Despite multiple medical consultations, doctors were unable to diagnose or cure his condition.

Frustrated and desperate for relief, he turned to YouTube for guidance, studying surgical procedures online.

Determined to operate on himself, he purchased medications, anaesthetic injections, a blade, and stitching materials.

On Wednesday (19 March) morning, he locked himself in his room and began the procedure. He made a seven-inch incision in his abdomen, hoping to find the source of his pain.

After failing to remove anything, he stitched himself back up with 11 stitches. But when the anaesthetic wore off, the unbearable pain made him cry out for help.
