With due respect to renowned Cardiac Surgeon Devi Shetty,
personally, I am very much annoyed the way people are talking more about him
and thus overshadowing the heroic acts of BSMMU Cardiology Unit and respected
consultants of other departments, Vice-chancellor of BSMMU Professor Kanak
Kanti Barua and Hospital Director Brig. Harun.
It’s a pity that we are still obsessed with the opinion of a person, who was not even present during the crisis period and ignoring the true
heroes.
The chairman of Cardiology department BSMMU Professor Syed
Ali Ahsan gave his best shot when honourable Minister was in a cardiac arrest
and took a bold step to go for the primary PCI.
Just imagine the pressure Dr. Ali Ahsan sir and his team
were in while performing the procedure. And just imagine the pressure Professor
Kanak Kanti Barua and Brig. Harun faced on that eventful morning of March 3,
2019.
Of course, the concerned junior doctors and nurses always
remained alert and gave their effective services whenever it was necessary
throughout the day and night.
It is very easy to say anything crap on social, print and
electronic media, but none of you can even realise the element of risk, which
persisted during that period and thankfully, the expert hands of Dr. Syed Ali
Ahsan saved the day – an effort which elevated the prestige of Bangladeshi
doctors to the highest level in a time when doctors were going through a
critical period.
Had anything bad happened, it is people like you who would
have taken the Bangladeshi doctors to the cleaners. But it is quite staggering
to see, how a group is silent about the fantastic work of BSMMU Cardiology unit
and how some are questioning like a school children about the shift of Minister
to a foreign land and the visit of Dr. Shetty.
I am a junior doc and not someone very important, but I can
confidently say, the invitation of Dr. Shetty was not needed at all. Our
Cardiologists are much smart and skillful enough to take bold steps and
decisions.
But on a positive note, the presence of Dr. Shetty did one
thing and which is, he gave the due credit to BSMMU Cardiology doctors, which
many of the non-medical persons in Bangladesh are hesitant to give. I am sorry
to say, such people are born with a small mind and love to nurture hatred.
Surely, ignoring the heroic acts of doctors of Bangladesh
does not make you a patriotic person, but a short-sighted and narrow-minded
person.
Mr. Minister survived an acute stage in Bangladesh and it
was Professor Syed Ali Ahsan and the associated doctors who deserve the credit.
But in Bangladesh, a competent doctor would never be given their due respect. I
have spent 2 years under Syed Ali Ahsan and know what a genius this man is!
The Honourable Minister was shifted to Singapore not just
that Bangladeshi doctors are not capable of stabilizing him – as BSMMU
Cardiology deal with such patients day in and day out. But it was more about
external-pressures and one can’t ignore the wish of hierarchy.
Both Dr. Shetty and Bangladeshi doctros are well aware of
such matters and know how to balance things.
It always becomes tough for others to receive treatment when
such VIP cases get admitted due to high security reasons and this might have
never happened if such VIPs got admitted regularly in such hospitals, then they
would have felt the need to develop special facilities and take fruitful steps
to deal such critical and pressurized cases of VIPs.
May the Almighty Allah give you people the sense and
sensibility to judge fairly and cut short the intention of unnecessary
show-offs for personal gains.
Thank You
