KOLKATA: Mohammad Tarique’s survival is little short of a miracle. A 3-and-ahalf-foot-long steel rod had pierced via his cranium in an twist of fate on VIP Road near Keshtopur about a month in the past. The Park Circus resident was once discharged from the sanatorium on Monday after he underwent a surgical procedure and gained remedy.
The twist of fate, on the other hand, has left the 24-year-old’s speech slurred and his mobility limited. Doctors are hopeful of enhanced mobility and readability in speech after physio and speech remedy.
Tarique was once in a automobile with his pals and cousin on VIP Road in the wee hours of April 29 when the driver lost control and the vehicle hit the median divider ahead of turning turtle. An iron rod from the divider pierced his forehead and went via his cranium. The vehicle got mangled and trapped all 4 — including Tarique who was once sitting next to the driver. Police used fuel cutters to rescue them. “Apart from Tarique the rest escaped with minor injuries. I was shocked to see the rod caught in his head. Given the kind of injury, we had given up hope,” said cousin Azizul Haque.
By the time Tarique was once taken Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals round 4.30am, he had lost a lot of blood and was once in a comatose state. “Our emergency docs right away began resuscitation and blood transfusion. They attempted to stablise his condition, whilst the brain and spine surgeon reached the sanatorium in any other half an hour. The fact the affected person was once rushed in throughout the golden hour also helped,” said Dr Binod Kumar Sighania, senior consultation neurosurgeon at Apollo who carried out surgical procedure on Tarique.
The rod was once removed in asurgery that lasted for two-and-a-half hours. Bleeding, too, was once also controlled all over the method. The affected person was once do away with the ventilation on the second one day.
Apollo CEO Rana Dasgupta said, “This surgical procedure was once one of the vital complicated and challenging ones performed on this sanatorium. Not most effective his family, Tarique’s adventure was once an emotional one for us as neatly.”
“The expenses have spiralled to about Rs 12 lakh, out of which, we've got been ready to clear one-fourth. Contrary to our apprehension, the sanatorium allowed us to take Tarque house. We don't seem to be positive whether we can mitigate the dues,” said Azizul.
