Man Falls Off his Bunk, is Paralyzed
This is something Overseas Filipino Workers living in the flats across the United Arab Emirates could well relate to.
A 30-year-old man who arrived in Dubai last month for work ended up with both arms and legs paralyzed after recently falling off the top tier of his bunk at their accommodation, according to a Gulf News.
Bilal Syed’s case is not an isolated one. Pam Gouri, a volunteer for the support group, Valley of Love, said they “attend to at least four to five cases of serious spinal injuries rendering the individual either a paraplegic or quadriplegic every year.”
Syed, who love sports and the outdoors was confined at the Rashid Hospital, as of presstime.
