Mumbai, Apr 25: In an unexpected turn of events Shaimaa Selim, sister of Eman Ahmed, world's heaviest woman, weighing around 500 kg, has shot a video saying that her sister is very sick and she is not getting good treatment in Saifee Hospital in Mumbai where she was admitted to undergo bariatric surgery.
In the video, Shaimaa has accussed Dr Muffazal Lakdawala of 'telling lies' about her sister's weight loss. She says, "She does not talk at all. She is not able to move and she looks bluish. No improvement."
She then shows the facility where Eman has been kept. Shaimaa says that the hospital doesn't have a CAT scan machine. Eman's thrombosis has been treated till now. She says that the facility promised to escort her to the toilet has not been made yet.
When contacted, Dr Lakdawala in an statement said that Eman will be discharged in a couple of days and allegations made by Shaimaa are disappointing.
"It's disappointing to say the least if after all that we have done for Eman this is what we have to deal with all we can say is may god bless Eman. Eman is fit and shall be discharged in the next couple of days her obesity related risks have nose dived. Her neurological rehabilitation shall be best managed with intensive physiotherapy that does not need further hospitalisation."
Only Shaimaa Selim can best explain her reasons of such a dramatic turnaround and views contrary to all the best medical opinions available."
Eman had also undergone genetic testing. The report which came through in around the end of March showed that she has a rare gene defect that has caused her obesity. In fact she is the only person in the world with the defect.
