Akram says doctors were more interested in making money than saving wife's life | | Angry and hurt over the non-professional attitude of the doctors who treated his wife, legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has said that they (doctors)were only interested in making fast money than curing his wife Huma Akram, who died in October due to multiple organ failure. Wasim blamed doctors in Lahore
of keeping him in the dark about his wife's ailment, saying they failed to diagnose
the real problem. "The doctors of Lahore hospitals took no pain while treating
Huma and they failed to diagnose her ailment. They were more interested in making
money as after their failure to cure Huma, they asked me to pay 150,000 dollars
to arrange an air ambulance for her treatment in Singapore ," Wasim said. He said
that while the doctors claimed that Huma's condition was improving, she didn't
show any signs of recovery. "The consulting doctors were not available on phone
and that was something highly disturbing for us," Wasim told The Dawn. When asked
that whether he was satisfied with the government's decision to cancel the licence
of all the 17 doctors who were involved in her wife's treatment, the former speedster
said: " Something has to be done to stop them (doctors) from being indifferent
to patients." It may be noted that the Pakistan Health Ministry had suspended
17 doctors and cancelled their general practice licenses on charges of dereliction
of duty leading to Huma Akram's death. The decision was taken after a meeting
of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Health. |
