Even as MARD doctors across the state were protesting to condemn the Kolkata rape and murder of a junior doctor on August 17, a team of experienced doctors at the BMC’s Rajawadi Hospital performed a emergency surgery to save the eye of 35-year-old carpenter. The patient identified as Sharif Ali Mohammed Khan had been rushed to the Rajawadi Hospital with a corneal tear injury in his left eye. A stray nail had hit Khan’s eye at a construction site resulting in the injury. Timely intervention and multidisciplinary team work by experienced doctors and staff at Rajawadi Hospital made it possible to successfully perform the emergency surgery and salvage the eye of the patient.
