We narrate you the famous Dr Jooma neurosurgeon son accident story.
Dr. Jooma, a very educated doctor, came to Pakistan in 1951 and set up a unit of neurosurgery at Jinnah Hospital Karachi which was the very first neurosurgical unit in Pakistan.
His wife Mrs. Jooma was an avid social worker and helped Fatima Jinnah set up Khatoon-e-Pakistan Girls College Karachi.
There was a time when Dr. Jooma was considered one of the best neurosurgeons in this subcontinent and the best neurosurgeon in Pakistan.
It is said he was called frequently in case of any type of complication regarding neurology or neurosurgical procedure related to VVIP’S treatment of that era.
Even visited Dhaka several times in those days when there were complications regarding neurology/neurosurgery at the national level.
But very unfortunately when his beloved Son’s turn came, he couldn’t save his life.
Dr Jooma neurosurgeon son accident story:
Long time ago, one midnight a phone rang at Mr. Jooma’s residence and while receiving the phone he was told a critical patient had come into the hospital with a head injury due to a fatal motorcycle accident and he was requested to rush to the hospital immediately as his presence, advice and especially an emergency surgery was urgently required.
Having heard the news at once, he ordered the hospital authority to collect the required cash first from the patient’s family and deposit the cash in his account.
The guy who met the accident was unconscious at that time and he had no friend and close relative near him.
The people who brought him to the hospital found him totally unconscious due to that severe accident. Moreover, they were only strangers.
So, it was not at all possible and completely out of the question for them to arrange and deposit the money.
On the other hand, Dr. Jooma was completely rigid, stubborn, and firm regarding his words.
Till the end, he didn’t go to the hospital to check on the patient as the money was not being deposited. As a result, early in the morning, the patient died.
As soon as Dr. Jooma reached the hospital the next morning, he saw the dead body’s face. He discovered the patient who came to his hospital with a brain injury was no one but his own son.
His son succumbed to death due to his intentional negligence and serious injury following internal and external bleeding.
It is said that this tragic incident later mentally disturbed Dr. Jooma and he left the profession for some time.
Note: This story is a part of folklore. The Asian mirror could not independently verify it.
