Did most of us mistake someone else as the late Baharuddin Ahmad?

This picture and others of the man in the middle had been used and described as that of Baharuddin Ahmad...

This picture is that of the late Baharuddin Ahmad...

I have come across reports in Sin Chew Jit Poh as well as Bernama in which the police had denied the man in the first picture was that of the late Baharuddin.

There was a picture or video in Facebook which featured the man in the first picture, posted or commented by Wong Chin Huat which was later commented by Maria Chin Abdullah that he was not Baharuddin Ahmad and that we should stop the comments since a wrong picture had been used.

Anyway, I just wish to comment that since Baharuddin Ahmad died of heart failure or heart attack, I hope there is going to be some improvement in the way we treat similar cases in future. I sincerely believe that only those trained to deal with such medical emergencies should handle such cases because a well equipped ambulance together with well trained personnel could make a difference between life and death. Since one Christmas day dinner for old folks in Pusing when a committee member had a heart attack and died soon after he was carried by those around to a car and sent to the Batu Gajah hospital, I cringe each time I come across such cases.

In 1987, my eldest brother at the age of 51 suffered a heart attack and was wheeled into KL General Hospital. He died soon after. In 2008, his second son at the same age, suffered a heart attack in London. He was attended to by well trained personnel in a well equipped ambulance and sent to Guy's Hospital, a large teaching hospital and is home to the King's College London School of Medicine and Dentistry. He was treated immediately and had an angioplasty done. He is now fitter than before and said his previous NHS contributions had been well worth it.

I think the moral of my story is that apart from the advancement in medical science and treatment since 1987, how we handle a case of heart attack before a patient reaches a hospital and how he is treated would make a difference between life and death. I wish our policemen would treat fellow humans with decency and care when carrying out their duties and in a medical emergency, to treat a patient with utmost care and attention regardless of whether he has committed an offence. Further, to have actually fired tear gas and water cannons into a hospital building can be considered most callous and inhumane because instead of saving, the police was actually trying to hurt people who tried to hide in the hospital and in so doing endangering the lives of hospital patients. It is most unacceptable by any standard and to deny when there are photos and videos to substantiate seems indefensible.
