Dhali likely to be taken to Bangkok

The critically injured artiste Dhali Al Mamun may be taken to Bangkok on Friday for better treatment, a close friend of Dhali has told the news agency.

Artiste Wakilur Rahman said on Wednesday that family and friends of Dhali had taken the decision as 'he was grievously hurt' in the August 13 road accident that killed celebrated filmmaker Tareque Masud and ATN News chief editor Mishuk Munier and three others.

Dhali is in the intensive care unit of city's Square Hospitals.

'If everything goes fine, we will take him (Dhali) to Bangkok by air ambulance on Friday morning,' he said, adding, there are some 'formalities' still pending that may delay the schedule (Friday).

However, a Square Hospital medical board sat around noon and decided to operate upon Dhali's broken arm on 'family members' consent'.

'We are ready to operate upon his arm, if family agrees,' professor Mostafizur Rahman told the news agency and added, 'The artiste is improving.'

However, Dhali's friend Wakilur Rahman said they would not go through any surgical procedure further as they had decided to take him to Bangkok.

The accident has also broken Dhali's lower jaw and eight chest ribs that injured the lungs.

Doctors clipped the broken jaw and inserted a tube into the chest to drain the accumulated air into the pleural space (surround the lungs).

Though he was stated 'critical', doctors were optimistic as 'there is no sign of deterioration'.

Artiste's colleague and friend Lala Rukh Selim, on behalf of the artist community, has made a blog-appeal unheardvoice.net/blog/2011/08/16/dhali-al-mamoon seeking help for Dhali's treatment.
