Abstract

As the adage goes “Man proposes God Disposes”, presenting an unusual case of self inflicted suicidal cut throat injury.
This case is quiet unusual for quite a few reasons:
• It was initially managed at a sub divisional hospital
• The patient survived after such an injury which almost happened 18 hours prior to being brought to our center.
• Initial and timely management and referral of the patient with such an injury.

Keywords: Self Inflicted Suicidal Cut Throat Injury; Timely Management
