Wasim Akram's wife was taken abroad against doctors' advice |
Several doctors who were treating Huma Waseem, the wife of Pakistan
cricketer Wasim Akram, in Lahore have said that Huma was taken abroad against
their advice. "A panel of 10 senior doctors of three private hospitals of Lahore
were not in favour of taking Huma abroad (Singapore) keeping in view her serious
condition," The Dawn quoted one of her physicians, as saying. The physician said
that after undergoing dental treatment in Karachi last month, she had developed
a throat infection and also a dry cough. In the first week of October, it was
diagnosed that she had developed acute renal failure and her white cell count
was increasing. She also developed other complications during the period, which
reportedly included severe infection of the kidney with acute tubular necrosis,
inflammation of blood vessels, SIRS and pulmonary hypertension. The physician
further said that Huma was showing signs of recovery when her family decided to
shift her abroad. "She was improving clinically when Wasim Akram decided to shift
her to Singapore for better treatment," he said. Huma was admitted to a hospital
in Chennai after her condition deteriorated in an air ambulance while being flown
from Lahore to Singapore for treatment. Dr Munidar Rao of the Apollo Hospital
in Chennai said that when Huma was brought to the hospital she was in septic shock
leading to multiple organ failure. He said he was shocked with the fact that she
was being shifted in such a serious condition. "I failed to understand as to why
she was being shifted to Singapore in such a critical condition," he said. Huma
died in Chennai on Sunday. She was buried in Lahore on Monday. |
