Tun Dr M's condition remains stable

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's condition has remained stable after his follow-up surgery to treat a wound infection on Saturday.
The former Prime Minister is under routine post surgery support in the IJN's ICU, according to his aide Sufi Yusoff.
Sufi hoped that people offer prayers for Dr Mahathir's recovery rather than spread rumours about his condition.
He said the IJN is a responsible institution and that doctors who are looking after Dr Mahathir have always been forthcoming in giving information about his state of health.
Dr Mahathir underwent a three-hour long surgical wound debridement on Saturday night, night, 18 days after his second heart bypass operation.

Tun Dr M Has To Have Rehabilitative Treatment Again

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has to have rehabilitative treatment again after having undergone a debridement on Saturday owing to a wound infection.
After having undergone the three-hour surgery, he is under treatment at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the National Heart Institute (IJN) and is in stable condition and on routine post-surgery support, said his daughter Datin Paduka Marina.
Debridement is the surgical excision of dead, devitalised or contaminated tissue and removal of foreign matter from a wound. It is said to increase the rate of wound healing.
"Alhamdulillah (praise be to God), he (Dr Mahathir) is stable and his condition is heartening. He is conscious, and able to hear and respond well.
"However, he has to undergo rehabilitative treatment again, similar to what he had been through after the earlier (coronary bypass) surgery (on Sept 4)," she told reporters when approached at IJN, here.
Meanwhile, Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamad, Deputy Finance Minister II Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin and Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee Chairman Datuk Annuar Musa visited Dr Mahathir at the ICU.
Dr Mahathir, 81, who underwent his second coronary bypass surgery on Sept 4 at the IJN, was transferred back to the ICU 10 days later. He had been placed in the normal Bunga Raya Ward on Sept 12.
The former prime minister underwent his first coronary bypass surgery, at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, on Jan 24 1989 following a heart attack.
