A horrific accident happened in the UK. A 13-year-old boy stepped on a discarded e-cigarette on the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the e-cigarette pierced his body directly from the sole of his foot, piercing his bones on the spot, causing him excruciating pain. In addition, an infection occurred after the fracture, and he was once facing amputation, which almost caused the family to collapse.

According to the "Sun", 13-year-old Harry. Harley Bennett's heel was pierced by a disposable e-cigarette about 4 inches (about 10 centimeters), first through his sneakers and then into the body, requiring surgery. But surgeons have warned that his broken heel may need to be amputated due to an infection.


The cause of the accident was that Bennett and his friends found discarded disposable plastic e-cigarettes and tried to crush the e-cigarettes like a Coke can. He admitted afterwards that I didn't think much about it at the moment, and I didn't know how to explain it. I just stepped on it like this, and it pierced straight into my foot, which really hurt.


His mother, Samantha Robinson (Samantha Robinson) learned of the incident over the phone and rushed Bennett to the hospital. An X-ray showed that the e-cigarette was almost completely inserted into the bone of his heel, but he was wearing a £200 (approximately NTD) 7,400 yuan) shoes, the soles are very thick, but all the way through the shoes and socks to pierce the bones. The medical staff have never seen such a case, and the nurses are all dumbfounded.


Bennett was injected with antibiotics and painkillers in the hospital, and underwent a 2-hour operation or skin graft. He was discharged 6 hours later, but the doctor warned him that he might need amputation before the operation, which left a shadow on him and his family.


Mother Robinson (Samantha Robinson) said frankly, I feel scared and sad. I was more worried about Harley, afraid to see how scared he was. His grandmother, Andrea Keen, also said, 'Can you imagine being told you might lose your foot? He's only 13, which is horrible.


Bennett said that when the doctor told me that I might lose my foot, I felt very stressed, and so did the recovery process. Fortunately, I improved a lot after being discharged from the hospital, and now the pain condition is much better.
