Jaqualine Roberts(69) and Patricia Neal (67)
United Kingdom November 2006 |
When Jaqualine Roberts (69) and Patricia Neal (67), both sisters, decided to undergo cosmetic surgery together, little did they realise their dream would take them to India , thousands of miles away. Jacky wanted this surgery as her abdomen was scarred with three abdominal surgeries in last 25 years and Patricia readily agreed to be her companion in the whole process including getting operated along with. Their research for cost effective packages led them to India, when they read a story in 'Daily Mail' about a UK nurse, Anne Marie Jones, who traveled to Fortis Hospital, Mohali, in January 2006 and came back very happy with her Tummy Tuck surgery. Anne Marie strongly recommended Dr K M Kapoor , Senior Consultant and Head, Department of Cosmetic Surgery for this job and dispelled all their doubts about travel to India.
Both landed in Delhi on 6th November and headed straight to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. They reached Mohali on 9th November after the brief vacation. They underwent all the necessary tests and anesthesia evaluation on the same day. The sisters were originally scheduled for surgery on 10 th and 11 th respectively. But Patricia had different plans. She insisted that since they were doing everything together, both of them should be operated on the same day. It was a tough call but Dr K M Kapoor accepted this challenge. Jaqualine was operated on the morning of 10th November and Patricia in the afternoon. This is probably first time in the world that two sisters have undergone same cosmetic surgical procedure on the same day.
Post operatively, both recovered quickly and were on their feet with support on the very next day. After 5 days, both were discharged from the hospital. They are all praise for their doctor, nurses and supporting staff at Fortis Hospital , Mohali . "Never have we been treated so well at a hospital, anywhere in the world." says Jaqualine. "The services at FHM are exceptional. We were treated like royalty. So many people were at our beck and call," gushed Patricia.

Toqi Bangladesh July 31, 200 Tahmid6
|
"I am the happiest mother in the world" gushed Razia Begum, mother of 3-month old Toqi Tahmid on July 31, 2006 at Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital, Vasant Kunj. She and her husband had traveled from Dhaka, Bangladesh in search of a surgeon who could successfully perform the rare & complex surgery for a congenital heart defect suffered by her 3-month old baby boy. "
Dr. T S Mahant, cardiothoracic surgeon, who operated on Toqi Tahmid on July 31, said "this is an extremely rare condition, about 1-2% of all children born with heart defects can have a problem so complicated. It was not just one malformation. The heart had failed to develop properly and unless such cases are operated early in life, the high pressure in the lungs can make them inoperable in the first six months of their lives". His team had separated the valves, some of which shared common tissue; used the tissues of the outer lining of the Heart. Dr. Mahant added that Toqi's chest X-ray and blood tests are normal and he was fit to be discharged soon and also the boy's parents could now be assured of his normal life-span and growth.
Ms. Razia Begum, a lecturer & her husband Mr. Shahajahan Choudhary, a businessman had consulted the best Cardiologists in Dhaka and they advised immediate surgery. They arrived in India in the second week of July and moved from one ICU to another in the hope that somebody would take their case till a doctor referred them to Fortis hospital, Vasant Kunj. After the operation, the boy had been on a ventilator for three days. The couple make no mention of the cost of operation, it is too insignificant an amount for the life of their firstborn, their bundle of joy.
