This was Rishab before the operation
A parasite twin, with only developed arms and legs, lived inside a healthy one-year-old boy, threatening his life
Little Rishab died because of an underdeveloped twin brother. Thanks to the efforts of doctors, a boy with eight limbs from Nepal, who was nicknamed Osmimalchik, finally got rid of a terrible anomaly that threatened his life.
Now a one-year-old baby, like all normal children, plays merrily with his older brothers and sisters. It seems that nothing darkens a happy childhood. But, if you take a closer look at the scars on his tummy, it becomes clear that the boy's life began with a real nightmare.
Rishab Ghimer was born with a terrible anomaly. In the belly of the child lived and parasitized his underdeveloped twin, who grew arms and legs, but did not have a head. The parasite brother ate from Rishab's blood supply and slowly but surely sucked the life out of him.

Fortunately, an unprecedented operation saved the baby's life. Earlier this year, experienced doctors were able to remove a parasitic growth attached to the boy's liver.
At first, no one took up the hopelessly ill boy, but fortunately, the leading pediatric surgeon from the United States, Dr. James Stein, decided to carry out the operation and, at all costs, save the baby's life.
The amazing story of Rishab, who was born in January last year, has spread throughout Nepal and India and was told in a TV documentary. In some episodes, you can see how the poor mother of the child who has not yet been operated on lifts him into her arms. It is difficult for her to raise a sick son, but she does not intend to give up.

“He is my little king,” Januca said. - But, when I saw him for the first time, I didn't even know what to think. Now he is so weak and thin. He hardly eats and cries all the time.
According to his mother, when Rishab was born, many residents of their village said that a multi-armed Hindu god was reincarnated in the boy. Superstitious people even called Januku a witch and the mother of a living ghost.
“It's terrible when people spread dirty, ridiculous rumors,” Januka said before the operation. - As a mother, I cry with my son. I put on a courageous mask, but my heart breaks from the fact that my boy is suffering.
“Now my son looks very healthy and happy,” says the happy mother. - He plays all the time and moves a lot. As if he makes up for all the joys of childhood that he was deprived of for so long.
