 Something Fishy in 12-year-old Boy
Anil Barela, a 12 year old boy, was taken to the hospital with a strange problem. He had accidentally inhaled a nine-centimeter fish while playing close to a river.
A bronchoscopy had revealed the presence of the fish which doctors noticed was alive and flapping.

A surgery was performed to remove the fish from the boy's lungs. The boy is fine and is recovering well.
