A hospital in Sharjah managed to save the life of a 40-year-old Australian expat after a major desert bike accident at the Al Badayer area that caused her kidney to rip into three pieces.
She was immediately transferred via air transport to Al Dhaid Hospital who assessed that she needed an immediate operation. The medical team from Sharjah’s Al Qasimi Hospital responded and headed towards the Al Dhaid hospital with haste, and immediately transferred 7 blood bags to the patient after she suffered from a significant blood loss in order to maintain a stable blood pressure, as per reports from Al Bayan.
During the operation, the medical team stopped the bleeding and managed to stitch the torn pieces of the kidney back together, assuring the patient’s family of the success of the operation. The patient is in a stable condition and is currently under observation at the hospital.
