When doctors at Delhi’s Lok Nayak Hospital were finding it hard to come up with a treatment plan for a 11-month-old girl who fractured her limbs, her mother came up with an extraordinary solution, reports The Indian EXPRESS.
When 11-month-old Zikra was rushed to the hospital for a thigh bone fracture, doctors found it difficult to treat her as she would not remain still. This was when her mother suggested they “treat” her doll Pari along with her. And guess what? Both the baby and her doll are recovering and doing well.
Fareen, the toddler’s mother, said that Zikra would even let doctors put her on gallows tractions for proper alignment of her legs. She then told her husband to bring her favourite doll. “We just thought of putting Pari in the same position as Zikra — and it worked,” said Fareen.
Many took to twitter to appreciate the mother’s timely intervention and the doctor’s patience and his ability to deal with toddlers.
Zikra, who fell off the bed at her residence in Delhi Gate on August 17, was treated by doctor Ajay Gupta from the orthopaedic department of Lok Nayak Hospital.
