Zameer is a middle-aged man from a modest socio-economic family. He works as an electrical supervisor at the Siemen’s Company where he had a terrible accident in March. He was going about his business as usual when an entire container, weighing about 500 kg, fell on him during off-loading. He was taken to a hospital near his workplace but the staff there only treated his external injuries. His wound, however, was deeper than that and led to internal bleeding, eventually becoming infected and causing an accumulation of pus around the affected tissue.
In pain and confused about his symptoms, Zameer’s wife brought him to Indus two months after the actual injury. Doctors at TIH described his condition to be extremely serious and admitted him immediately for surgery. A series of operations had to be performed to get rid of the excessive pus in and around Zameer’s wound. Both he and his wife consider TIH staff their savious. However Zameer is extremely perturbed at the doctors whose negligence brought him to the brink of losing his limbs.
“I just want those doctors to pay for their wrongdoing! They give false information to their patients and perform needless procedures just to make money. They should be punished for their ill- treatment. I was treated without respect or attention only because I did not have money to pay them. But here at Indus, it was completely different. I was respected and treatment I could never have imagined to receive. Its unaffordable yet within my reach.”
