Doctors save the life of a baby who was suffocating after swallowing a watch in this time-stopping event.
After the silver timepiece became lodged in his throat, the baby boy was brought to the hospital, struggling to breathe.
When medics in Saudi Arabia struggled to dislodge the trapped bit of metal, he had already begun to turn blue.
The doctor loosens the thing with surgical scissors before scraping it out of his neck with his fingers in the 20-second film.
The baby is initially silent, as though horrified by what has happened, but then coughs to clear his airways.
When he begins to wail loudly, he demonstrates that there is no long-term harm to his lungs.
Medics can be seen constantly stroking him on the back to persuade him to breathe.
After noticing the child struggle to breathe and realizing that he had swallowed the watch, which they were unable to extract, his parents hurried him to an unfamiliar hospital.
He was already in critical condition when he arrived, and the doctor’s quick efforts certainly saved his life.
Since it was uploaded to YouTube four days ago, the video has had nearly 12,000 views.
It was unclear where the incident occurred in Saudi Arabia.
