September 2016
My 54th birthday was coming up in October and I was a little excited. But before that on September 8 it was my friend from college days, Zulfiqar Jariwala's birthday. I called to wish him. Spoke at length, reminiscing about the 37 years of our friendship. I knew him to be a busy man on a working day (he being a successful advocate). Hence I tried to conclude the telecon, but he was in no hurry that day.
At some point our conversation veered to where we were born. And it turned out that the place where our mothers had delivered us was Dholkawala Hospital on Mohamed Ali Road, Mumbai, then Bombay. Just a coincidence I thought. But already there was a bell ringing in my mind. We both had very weak, highly myopic eyesight with multiple surgeries done on both eyes.
I came home and sent messages to my brothers and sister. Where were they born? My eldest brother Shamun who lives in Thane was born in Godhra. So also my special needs sister Rukaiya who lives with me under my care. My second sister Rafika. my dentist brother Shabbir and I, the youngest of all were born in Mumbai (Bombay). At Dholkawala Hospital, Bombay (Mumbai) ! All three of us have or have had high myopia since birth. There is no family history of myopia, my study of the family tree revealed. In fact, it showed my parents and grand parents having good normal eyesight until old age. It led me to a fair hypothesis that there was/were act/s of commission or omissions at the time of childbirth/delivery in all our cases - Rafika, Dr,Shabbir, Zulfiqar and I, that has resulted in weak, highly myopic eyesight. The implications are enormous and shocking. I met a judge's son whose nephew born in Dholkawala Hospital, Mohemadali Road and he too had severe eye problems
If these facts are any indicators, then it would seem that the fairly assumed acts of ommission or commission during effecting delivery of babies by Dholkawala Hospital are / were tantamount to medical negligence, and if so, the doctors there should be held liable for it.
