How a Dubai doctor on tea break comes to the rescue of a man suffering heart attack after collapsing near metro station
A Dubai-based doctor swiftly acted and saved the life of a city resident who collapsed near a metro station due to a cardiac arrest . Shervin Sasidharan, 36, had just stepped out of work and had just started to walk towards the metro station when the incident took place. His vision got blurred, his legs buckled, and he collapsed on the pavement. Sasidharan was completely unconscious, and he was barely breathing, and he was probably moments away from death due to a cardiac arrest. Just then, Dr. Niraj Gupta, a specialist in interventional cardiology at NMC Royal Hospital in Dubai Investment Park (DIP), who was out on a quick tea break, rushed to help after he noticed a crowd around someone on the ground. Gupta, who was across the street, said that the person (Sasidharan) had suffered a cardiac arrest and there was a need for quick action to save his life. Recalling the incident, Dr. Gupta said, 'I saw people standing around someone on the ground. When I reached him, I realized he was sweating heavily and breathing just four times a minute,' Dr. Niraj recalled. 'It was a cardiac arrest, and we had to act quickly,' as quoted by The Khaleej Times. As the hospital was nearby, Dr. Gupta wasted no time and called for an ambulance and began CPR. The patient was given two shocks before reaching the hospital, followed by a third one, which was delivered inside the emergency department. Live Events Emergency, ICU, and cardiology teams acted swiftly, and a full Code Blue was activated at the hospital. Sasidharan was given treatment on priority. According to Khaleej Times, he was diagnosed with a critical cardiac condition, acute inferior wall ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), and ventricular fibrillation (VF). An angiography revealed a 100 percent blockage in the right coronary artery and a 90 percent blockage in the left. Four drug-eluting stents were placed to restore blood flow. He was able to walk again freely in just two days due to swift medical intervention. Sasidharan thanks Dr Gupta after recovery Following his recovery, Sasidharan said that he was not even aware that he was suffering from diabetes. He thanked Dr. Gupta for taking swift action, which saved his life. 'I didn't even know I had diabetes. I thought I was healthy. If the doctor hadn't been there at that moment, I wouldn't be alive today. I am just so thankful,' Sasidharan was quoted by The Khaleej Times as saying. Sasidharan also said that the near-death experience has changed his life. 'I've cut down on junk food. I started walking every day, and I'm making health my top priority. I got a second chance; I won't take it for granted,' he said. Dr Gupta reveals major reasons behind heart attacks in young adults Dr. Niraj, who performed the entire procedure without pause, said poor lifestyle habits are one of the biggest contributors to heart attacks in young adults. 'People in their 30s shouldn't be experiencing this. But stress, poor diet, smoking, processed food, and high cholesterol are major risk factors,' he noted. He requested residents to take regular checkups seriously and recommended basic heart screenings, including the Treadmill Test (TMT), Lipid profile, Blood sugar levels, and a CT scan of the heart.

CM visits DHQ Hospital Pakpattan, takes action against MS
LAHORE: 'It is not the shortage of doctors and nurses, but the lack of sense of service,' said Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif during her visit to DHQ Hospital Pakpattan to inspect various wards, stores and labs of the hospital. The CM rejected an attempt to cover up the facts by MS and other responsible persons, and took a strong action against CO Health Pakpattan Dr Sohail Asghar and MS DHQ Hospital Pakpattan Dr Adnan Ghaffar for their criminal negligence in the discharge of official duties. She directed to arrest them and got a case registered against them in this regard. The CM visited patients in different wards and inquired about their condition one by one. She also interacted with the patients and their families, sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, and inquired them about the supply of medicines and availability of treatment facilities. Patients and their families piled up complaints of mismanagement and negligence in the hospital. They also complained about bringing medicines from outside. The chief minister said, 'Despite the presence of medicines in store, they are being ordered from outside by colluding with the pharmacy. We are giving Rs 100 billion for medicines, then why are the people not getting them free?' She also got angry over no announcement for free medicines in the hospital. She highlighted, 'If you try, you can find out the situation quite easily, it has come to light in a round of the hospital.' She strictly reprimanded for not getting medicine despite being available in store, and directed to implement Code Red and Code Blue system in government hospitals. The chief minister said, '90% of patients in DHQ are complaining about ordering medicines from outside. The necessary machinery and equipment are packed and not used. They are brought from outside.' Maryam Nawaz Sharif got furious and asked the relevant authorities with a heavy heart, 'Do people come to hospitals to die?' She directed them to take effective decisions on all inquiries within a week, and said, 'New MS from Sahiwal should be posted to DHQ Hospital Pakpattan.' The chief minister got offended over the use of AC in offices, but not in wards for the patients. She got three private labs sealed for their collusion with Pakpattan hospital staff, and got three lab technicians from a private lab dismissed for colluding with the hospital staff. She also directed to arrest the owner and in-charge of the parking company on the complaints of overcharging Rs 50 and Rs 100 as parking fee from patients and their families, and directed to relieve DC Pakpattan of charges. Maryam Nawaz Sharif directed measures to ban the use of mobile phones by doctors and paramedical staff during duty in hospitals, and directed to implement pager system instead for communication in hospitals. She said, 'Strong decisions are necessary to make those responsible realize.' Earlier an inquiry report into the hospital affairs was presented, which said, 'MS DHQ Hospital Pakpattan has failed to fulfill his administrative responsibility.' It added, 'The hospital consultants are not giving adequate time to patients.' It detailed, 'Equipment required in the hospital is in the store, but has not been used. The reason for delay in the treatment of patients is the indifference of consultants, doctors and staff. Specialist doctors do not conduct rounds. Pedan incubators are present but not functional.' The inquiry report highlighted, 'Health Care Commission rules and regulations are not being followed completely in DHQ Hospital Pakpattan.' It added, 'Emergency protocols for patients are not observed in DHQ Hospital, and its critical staff is not trained either.' Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Tengku Maimun's precious farewell gift to Malaysians: Landmark ruling on the right to dissent
Editor's Note: Rightly condensed by Boo Su-Lyn who is the editor-in-chief of CodeBlue, a website which seeks to promote healthcare as a human right: 'On her last day, Chief Justice (now former) Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat defends our constitutional right to freedom of assembly. The government can no longer require five-day notice to hold peaceful rallies as that has been ruled by the Federal Court to be unconstitutional.' On her last day, Chief Justice Tengku Maimun defends our constitutional right to freedom of assembly. The government can no longer require 5-day notice to hold peaceful rallies, as that has been ruled by the Federal Court to be — Boo Su-Lyn (@boosulyn) July 1, 2025 THE Federal Court had on yesterday (July 1) delivered one of the most important rulings on peaceful assembly in Malaysia. The Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 (PAA) came into force on April 24, 2012 which was just four days before one of the most historic rallies in the country – BERSIH 3.0. The PAA was intended to replace Section 27 of the Police Act and was meant to promote and facilitate peaceful assemblies. However, over the years, it has been used as a tool to criminalise peaceful protesters. Politicians, activists, students, members of the public and many others have been charged under this Act. I have always argued that there's no need for the 10-day advance notification requirement (prior to the amendment) under Section 9(5). This is because enforcement authorities are usually already aware when a rally is being organised. In many cases, no approval is granted even when organisers have complied with all conditions. Often, after submitting a notice, the rally would be declared 'illegal'. Participants of BERSIH 4 rally in September 2015 (Inage credit: Singapore Straits Times ) Precious gift Today's landmark decision is not just any ruling. It marks progress towards one of BERSIH's key demands under BERSIH 4 and 5: the right to dissent. As a former leader of the movement, I applaud the Federal Court's decision. The irony is that this demand was finally achieved through legal reform via the courts. Let us now celebrate what is enshrined in our Federal Constitution which under Article 10(1)(b) guarantees that 'all citizens have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms.' Kudos to all of you who have participated in peaceful gatherings or supported this journey over the years. ' Hak berhimpun, hak anak setiap bangsa (The right to assemble is the rights of every Malaysian).' – July 2, 2025 Mandeep Singh was one of the longest-serving staff at the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH). He was a key driver of the BERSIH Secretariat during a critical period in the movement's history, especially in the run-up to the BERSIH 3, 4 and 5 rallies. Mandeep Singh (Image credit: Malaysiakini ) During this period, the Hulu Selangor-born political activist was subject to over 30 interrogations, three death threats and five detentions for his involvement in BERSIH.
