The Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) here may have received
some negative publicity lately but a 19-year-old youth has only gratitude
for doctors at the hospital.
S. Sri Devan was told that his hand would have to be amputated.
His hand was crushed in an accident on April 8 when his car hit a lamp post while trying to avoid a motorcycle.
"I was devastated when doctors at three private and public hospitals told me that nothing could be done to save my hand," said Sri Devan, a clerk.
However, his family refused to accept the doctors’ diagnoses and took him to HTAR.
The method involved the installation of a circular fixator which provides structural support on the limb while allowing the soft tissue and bone to unite.
Today, Sri Devan’s left hand is both intact and functioning, except for his last two fingers which are still being treated.
"I’m so grateful to doctors at HTAR who persisted while others gave up," he said.
Sri Devan, who still wears the fixator on his arm, hopes to regain full use of his entire hand soon.
