Bangladeshi ‘Tree Man’ all smiles after surgery

Bangladeshi Health Minister Mohammed Nasim went to see him at the hospital on Sunday, a day after the 25-year-old underwent the surgery.
Bajandar said, “I am well. The doctors have removed all the barks on my right hand. 
“I was a bit afraid at first. But not so later,” he said.
Wife ‘Halima’ stood beside the bed with their three-year-old daughter on her lap. They were happy too.
“I feel delighted every time I think he will return to normal life,” Halima said.
Prof Dr Md Abul Kalam, head of the DMCH’s Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit, said Abul faced none of the problems patients usually do after surgery.
He said the warts on Bajandar’s left hand would be removed in another operation three weeks later.
But he did not rule out the possibility of the warts returning despite the surgeries.
He said a patient with a similar problem had to undergo 13 operations in Indonesia. “But Bajandar may not need so many,” he added.
After the visit, Minister Nasim said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had sent him to enquire about Bajandar’s health.
“He is well now. He spoke to me smiling,” he said.
