Freak Fall Traps Malaysian Boy's Testicles In Pipe

A Malaysian newspaper reports that doctors had to perform a 30-minute operation to free a nine-year-old boy's testicles from a metal pipe in which they got stuck after he slipped in the bathtub.

Hearing a call from his brother in an adjacent room, the boy climbed up a partition in the bathroom to shout back, but slipped and fell on an uncovered metal pipe -- trapping his testicles in the narrow tube.

Medical staff answering the emergency call at the boy's home were unable to remove the L-shaped pipe and had to call in firemen.

They firemen used a hydraulic cutter to open both ends of the pipe before he could be taken to hospital.

The young boy was discharged after doctors performed an emergency half-hour operation.

However, as you can imagine, was said to be in a world of pain.
