  1. I know nasrullah khan who died on september 3rd, 2011 in shalimar hospital. He died because of CMH lahore drs neglect. He was admitted there for 4 days and they didn’t do any ultrasounds or transfusions while his platelets dropped down to 10,000. At this level anyone will bleed to death. The 1st thing done at shalimar on admission was ultrasound and they informed that he had bleed so much internally that he can’t be saved now.They infused platelets but it was too late. Ashamed to be a paki…. never ready or committed
