it was around 4 a.m in the morning , Abah was driving alone to
    the hospital to get medication for his asthma.

    suddenly abah's car was hit by a speeding MyVi at a T-junction
    near the original branch Nasi Lemak Cinta Sayang.
    we rushed to the scene immediately when Abah called.
    relieved to see nothing serious happened to Abah.

    the impact was so big it made abah's car to spin 90' sideways

    after hitting abah's car , the MyVi hit a lamp post .
    luckily Abah and the other driver were OK.
    the MyVi driver was supposed to have his wedding reception
    in the afternoon that day.
    the MyVi driver said that he dozed off while driving , and hit
    Abah's car.
   


    luckily the Myvi hit only the front portion of Abah's car.
    although with such big impact , Abah's BMW e90 suffers only
    a broken suspension , leaked radiator and damages limited to
    only the right side of the front of the car , while passenger side
    remains intact.
    i used to say that imported car price is too expensive , but
    seeing this with my own eyes I realized that the safety features are
    worth paying for.

    Goa-Belgaum road



    we stopped to buy sweet potato at the roadside near Belgaum on our
    way back to Karad from Goa marathon when suddenly a Harley-Davidson rider
    hit a lorry about 100m from us.

    we rushed to the scene to help the rider.
    luckily my lecturers are specialist doctors respectively.
    Dr. Raje is a Neurosurgeon , while Dr. Rajmane is an Orthopaedics Surgeon.

    Dr. Raje ( neurosurgeon ) examined the head and neck injuries ,
    while Dr. Rajmane examined for any trauma to the rider.
    the rider had fractured femur .
    Pulse was radial pulse was feeble , while lower limb pulse was absent ,
    suggestive of shock / hypotension and compression to the vessels by the
    fractured bones.

    Dr. Rajmane ( Orthopaedic Surgeon ) took straight branches from the
    trees nearby to make temporary splint for the fracture.


    after putting the splint to immobilize the facture site , the rider was
    carried to the roadside.
    my lecturers then called their collegues from KLE Hospital Belgaum
    to send ambulance immediately.




    a rare and almost movie-like situation where there's a road accident ,
    but with Neurosugeon , Orthopaedic Surgeon and a photographer at the site.
