The condition of Titumir College student Rajib Hossain, who lost his right arm being trapped between two running buses in the capital’s Banglamotor on Tuesday, remained unchanged on Friday afternoon.
However, he needed no life support.
‘His head injury is still worrying. There is internal bleeding in the head,’ DMCH orthopedic head Dr Shamsuzzaman told The New Nation on Friday afternoon.
Doctors on Thursday said that Rajib’s condition was not out of danger and could deteriorate anytime.
His injury in the right arm is curing,
said Dr Shamsuzzaman, who is heading a medical team formed to treat Rajib.
Rajib could take his foods on Friday morning. He would take foods from now, the doctor said.
Rajib, a third year bachelor student, is now undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
He has lost his parents earlier and now he is the eldest member of the family. He has two younger siblings to look after, Rajib’s relatives said.
‘We urge the government to take him abroad for better treatment,’ he said.
On Tuesday, Rajib was standing on the rear gate of a packed BRTC double-decker on his way to college when a Sajan Paribahan bus was overtaking it and in the friction, his right hand was severed from the wrist while the upper arm also sustained serious injuries exposing the bones.
He was rushed to Shamorita Hospital from where he was shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Wednesday.
The drivers of the competing buses – Wahid, 35, of BRTC bus and Khorshed, 50, of Swajan Paribahan – are now in police remand since they were arrested on Thursday for interrogation over the incident.
