   An Indian woman is blinded in one eye after the whistle attached   
   to a pressure cooker shot off the cooking device and lodged into   
   her skull.   
      
   The horrific accident happened as Munda Birsi, 57, was making a   
   meal with her pressure cooker on Sept. 4. She set the cooker on   
   the gas stove in her home and went outside to cut hay, according   
   to SWNS.   
      
   The woman, who could not hear the whistle screaming over the hay-   
   cutter, went back inside roughly an hour later to remove the   
   cooker from the stovetop. As she did, the steam reportedly   
   caused the whistle to burst and shoot into her face. The nearly   
   3-inch object pierced “the skull bone separating her eyes from   
   her brain,” per SWNS.   
      
   Birsi was rushed to a local hospital where a CT scan revealed   
   the whistle was jammed into her skull near her brain. The object   
   was lodged so deeply it was not fully visible from the outside,   
   photos show.   
      
   Dr. Ashish Joy Soren with Bhagwan Mahavir Medica Super   
   Speciality Hospital in Jharkhand, India, told SWNS the surgery   
   to remove the whistle from the woman’s eye was difficult.   
      
   To start, doctors had to “release adhesions around the whistle   
   and ensure that no bleeding should occur while extricating the   
   metallic object. We had kept backup plans if blood would spurt,”   
   he said. "It was a bit difficult to pull out the whistle as   
   vigorous maneuver would damage the surrounding tissues. We   
   gently pulled the whistle and packed the wound opening with the   
   gauze pieces.”   
      
   "The surgery was successful and we could save the life of woman,   
   though her left eye could not be saved,” he added.   
      
   Birsi was released from the hospital on Saturday, a day after   
   the operation to remove the whistle.
