KARACHI: Dr Asim Hussain on Friday suffered transient ischemic attack (TIA), often referred to as mini-stroke, in the ‘sub-jail’ of the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), hospital officials said.
They added that doctors took him for an emergency check-up where his MRI and CT scan tests were conducted.
“Dr Hussain is currently under observation,” doctors said. They added that the attack might be the result of high blood pressure and excessive stress. The doctors advised him for complete rest.

As a physican it is very difficult to objectively confirm TIA. No one should say like this for any ill person but Dr asim has medical knowledge and he is in judicial custody so symptom which could not be conformed objectively should not be allowed as an excuse for treatment abroad.

Dr.Asim indicted in Rs.500 billion corruption cases will now ask the court to allow him to go to Europe, U.S. or Dubai for treatment.
