Malala's Injury
Because of the BBC blog and the documentary made by New York Times Malala started getting well known through out the world, which caused the Taliban leaders to meet and in 2012 they all decided to kill her. On 9th October 2012 a masked Taliban gunman entered her school bus and asked "Which one of you is Malala? Speak up or else I will shoot all of you." Malala stepped forward and he fired three shots using a colt 45. One of the bullet hit the left side of her forehead, went under her skin and then into her shoulder. Two of her other friends were also injured but not as badly compared to Malala. She was bleeding in grave condition but it took about two hours to deliver her from the local hospital to a military surgeon. He spent five hours trying to relieve the swelling on her brain and remove tiny cots. For a strange coincidence there was someone in Pakistan, a top specialist in paediatric trauma from England doctor Fiona Reynalds with her colouge dr Jhnavi Kayani. They were sitting in long governmental meetings on medical programs. Thats when suddenly Dr Reynalds was told to race out to try and save the life of a famous and dying child. The tubes gave Malala a infection, the machines were improperly set and the blood wasn't clotting and her lungs and kidneys started to fail. She became septic and had a very serious life threatening infection. Dr Reynalds made a risky recommendation to take the gravely ill girl on a 8 hour trip to a high tech hospital in England. Malala survived the shooting but she was in a very serious condition. Her father Ziauddin had no hope that she would live and he told the villagers to prepare for her funeral. .On 15th October Pakistan arranged with the UAE (IUnited Arab Emirates) for a specially equipped air ambulance to take Malala to the United Kingdom. She was moved to Birmingham in the UK for a four month treatment at a specialist hospital for treating military injuries. She was in coma for 10 days and on the 11th day she came out of coma and she responded well with the treatment. January 3rd 2013 was the day she was discharged and moved to a temporary home in Midlands with her family.
