Man flies from Dubai with severed thumb just in time
New Delhi:28.11.2021
Unable to afford medical treatment in Dubai, a 34-year-old Indian carpenter flew into Delhi with a severed thumb wrapped in a bandage after 22 hours of the incident. A delay of two hours would have drastically reduced the chances of recovery.
Sandeep, who hails from Rajasthan, lost his left thumb while working on a saw machine in September. His modest income did not allow him treatment in Dubai. Doctors there put the thumb between the fingers and wrapped a bandage around it.
On arriving in India, the family took him to Aakash Healthcare, it being the nearest hospital to the airport.
The saw had cut three vessels causing loss of 300ml of blood in less than 24 hours, doctors at the hospital said. He had a successful surgery and is recovering well, they said. PTI
