✨ الحمدللہ ایک اور کامیاب سرجری ✨

آج میری او پی ڈی میں 60 سال کی بزرگ خاتون آئیں جن کا میں نے کچھ عرصہ پہلے آپریشن کیا تھا۔
آپریشن سے پہلے وہ ویل چیئر پر تھیں، نہ کھڑی ہو سکتی تھیں اور نہ چل سکتی تھیں۔

لیکن آج…
ماشاءاللہ وہ اپنے پاؤں پر خود کھڑی بھی ہوئیں اور بغیر سہارے کے چل کر دکھایا۔
ان کی خوشی اور چہرے کی مسکراہٹ دیکھ کر دل مطمئن ہو گیا۔

بزرگ اماں نے بڑی محبت سے کہا:
“ڈاکٹر صاحب، آپریشن بہت اچھا ہوا… اللہ آپ کو خوش رکھے، میں آج پھر اپنے پاؤں پر ہوں۔”

ایسے لمحے ایک سرجن کے لیے سب سے بڑی کامیابی ہوتے ہیں۔
اللہ پاک سب مریضوں کو صحتِ کاملہ عطا فرمائے۔ 🤲❤️
