Bypass Operation of my Uncle

Posted by hatim Wed, 26 Dec 2007 08:26:00 GMT

My uncle and all his immmediate family were in town this Sunday. He got admitted in to AFIC in prepration of his heart bypass operation. I had previously heard the word bypass, but never knew what it really meant. It involves cutting veins from some other part of the body and planting them near heart where blockages are present. It is a very delicate procedure. The operation was successful, but recovery is still progressing. Hopefully it would be all fine. All of my cousins including one who lives in UK have come to town and are staying at our place. AFIC (armed forced institute of cardiology)is probably the best hospital in Pakistan, dealing with heart patients.
