Update on my above post my Brothers accident happened in Pakistan.
He was booked in by family into a top private hospital. Impression I am getting is that the Dr's who are specialists. Are highly arrogant do not interact much with families of patients. Its mainly left to the nurses to give feedback to patients families. With loads of contradictory information from the nurses along the lines of the following. "We have placed him in an induced coma," " no we have not placed him in an induced coma, he is in a regular coma and is unresponsive" "The main problem we are having is the bleeding and swelling that has taken place in his brain as a result of the head injury"
" No actually the main problem is that he had a nose bleed from his head injury and the blood has gotten in to his lungs the blood has congealed in the lungs and has caused an infection"
"No the main problem is that he is diabetic and the diabetes has caused complications towards his treatment":
As far as CT scan of the brain goes still not sure if they have taken a scan or not. Its either we have already taken a CT Scan or We will be taking a CT Scan. With never any feedback as to what the scans if they have taken any have revealed.
Relatives are only allowed very limited visits in the intensive care Unit. Those too for only 15 minutes at a time. Being from a village none of them have even a basic understanding of medical terminology.
Only thing I know with certainty is that he is in a coma and is on life support machines.
From the point of view of profit it seems to me it is in the interest of the hospital to maximise their profit. And keep the patients in Intensive Care as long as possible.
They are charging 120 000 Rupees a day. Which is equivalent to about £550. Thats just for intensive care additional tests and treatments are charged extra.
I am fearful they might keep him in a state of Coma for weeks and once they have made as much profit as possible. State sorry there is nothing more we can do.
Rely on Allah ta'ala brother. These situations make us realise we have no choice but to turn to Him and rely on Him to open ways for us
Allah ta'ala safeguard him (and others in India/Pakistan where this is very common) from greed of man and bring him safely back home with 'aafiyah, aameen
Any influential person in pakistan that you know of who can make a call to the hospital or pay a visit. What about someone here in the uk who may have contacts in Pakistan?
I have told my relatives to do this or at the very least take a local Doctor from our destrict with them. Who can understand the medical terminology being used interact with the specialists and develop an understanding of whats going on. And what the prognosis is and what medical treatment and tests are being provided.
Alhamdulillah my Brother is now out of the Coma. Although still seriously ill, but things are looking alot more hopefull. Allah is indeed most gracious.
Struggling with Stress and anxiety feeling confused. Various issues that seem overwhelming
and beyond my control.
Duas requested.
A pray for Aafiyat for you and all concerned.
Do not hate a state of confusion. You are in the process of disconnection from some old world view and in the process of connection with a new world view and the latter one will be more closer to the Straight Path. Lord Most High willing.
I pray and hope you are feeling better now. Try and read this Dua often if you can to help around any anxieties you are feeling.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men." (See Hadith No. 374)
There are other strategies that can help. For instance try not to worry and think too much about those things that are out of your control as worrying won't make a difference and will take an emotional toll on you.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
