The patient was stuck right at the steel rod. Relatives and neighbors could not get him out so they had to use a saw to cut across the steel rod and take the patient to the emergency room.
Immediately, doctors and nurses from the Surgery Department actively resuscitated the patient, intubated the patient, and called a transfer vehicle to a higher level.
