aslamoalikum everyone in pakistan recollecting 8oct2005 i can easily rate that horrible day as one of the most terrible and aweful day of my life i was working as honorary medical officer in neurosurgery dept aiesnd at the same day three of our collegues drahsan aurangzeb ,dr kashif, and dr adnan were at leave so it was upto me and professor sajjid nazir bhatti head of dept to deal with massive casualties of earthquake victims almost 60percent of whome had head and spinal injuries.my first case would you believe it or not was one of my best friend drsherkhan from gilgit .he sustained severe head injury while jumping from the window of his room on the top of m.o hostel[amc].i was destined to see his horrible jump because just at the neck of time that i was running out of the gate of hoste i heared the most drizzling sound and as i turned to my right i saw something pounding just at the bay of hostel gate all of a sudden he was fully drenched with blood oozing of his nose mouth eyes and ears.i wqas so shocked that my legs got cramped and i forgot for a while what has happened
i started crying for help but everyone was so frightened that they could only watch at last dr shahzaman who is also gilgitti we took him and in the outskirts of amc under a tree i examined him and found that he had to be dealt with a team of ortho/neuro/ent surgeons as he had depressed nasal maxillary and skull fractures with almost all long bones fractures.but amzingly had glasgow coma scale 14/15 and intact vertebral column.after that we were recieving terront of casualties loaded in all sorts of vehicles including trucks and tractors like sacks of flour and curtains of items .thanks to the generous public and doctors all over pakistan who came and ehlped us in many many ways.whatever we needed at that time and those critical moments we had them all. after dealing all the victims for almost three weeks emergency was over and we retuned back to our wards but every day we could feel aftershocks and many a day patients could be droven out in the eve of earthquake returning back in shart it was very testing to control and manage and treat our patients.after that i joined mercy corps and worked as team leader for 5 months and during this time i experienced the real image of this disaster .working with an ngo was a pleasant experience but at times i could not control my emotions to see many peaple homeless and having lost thier dear and near ones.at this point i have to stop and i do not want to go in to further details as my heart is still beating fast while recollecting those scenes i pray to allah to bless all those families who suffered and to grant them with patience and prosperity once again.yours sincere dr.amanullah afghani.
