In Bashkiria, medical teams treated a young child who sustained severe burns after a foot became trapped in a kindergarten radiator. The incident was shared by a Telegram channel named Mash Batash, which reported the event in Ishimbay. Witnesses say the boy slipped into the hot radiator area and could not extract his leg on his own, leading to third-degree burns that required urgent care.
Following admission to the hospital, surgeons performed a skin graft to aid healing. Healthy skin was taken from the child’s hip and transplanted to the burned area, a procedure aimed at restoring skin coverage, reducing the risk of infection, and promoting faster recovery. Medical staff noted that the child is now stabilizing, and his life and health are no longer in immediate danger.
Law enforcement authorities are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident. The kindergarten teacher involved has continued with their duties at the facility, while investigators review supervision practices and safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. Experts emphasize the importance of safeguarding hot surfaces in childcare environments and ensuring prompt access to first aid and medical care for accidents involving children.
Earlier reports noted a separate medical case in the Moscow Region, where doctors in the city of Khimki treated a 21-year-old patient who presented with a magnet retained in the bladder, illustrating a different kind of urgent medical intervention.
