Our son Danny (22), was injured in a fishing accident just before sunrise on January 9, 2015. When we got the call, my wife rushed to the hospital to be at his side. After countless hours of watching our son struggle with severe pain and after she was told that nothing could be done because the right "specialist" for her son's severely complicated eye trauma was simply "not available" anywhere in the region. So finally, exhausted, she sat down next to our son in a small, darkened exam room at Long Beach Memorial and began to cry and pray and pray. What happened next was stunning.After several hours of wrangling with medical professionals, pleading unsuccessfully with them to save Danny’s eye, my wife closed the curtain to the darkened exam room, guarding our son into the early evening, like a lioness protecting her cub. With tears flowing, she finally began to pray the Rosary. At that same moment a man we had never met before, Dr. Ehsan Sadri, M.D., was driving south on the 405 Freeway, returning from ‘out of town’ to his office in Newport and "happened to be driving past Long Beach Memorial," when he decided to "touch base" with a fellow surgeon at Memorial, who promptly informed him of Danny's complicated eye injury. Within fifteen (15) minutes of beginning to pray the Rosary, my wife was startled by a sudden inflow of light as Dr. Sadri, threw open the curtains and cheerfully stated, "Hi! I was just in the neighborhood! And I hear that your son can use my help!"Dr. Sadri, who has successfully repaired the damaged eyes of "more than 10,000 patients," is exactly the kind of ophthalmologist we needed to remove the large fishing hook that was penetrating "three centimeters" directly through the pupil of Danny's right eye. After “longer than normal” surgery, Dr. Sadri was finally able remove the long fishing hook. Then, after putting eight (8) nylon stitches around the pupil, he was able to replace the eye-fluid and bring Danny's eye pressure back to normal. In a few weeks Dr. Sadri will take the initial step toward rebuilding Danny's eye, in order to restore full vision, first by replacing the lens. Then several weeks later, a possible cornea repair or replacement may be necessary.Because of Dr. Sadri's meticulous surgical skills, our son still has his eye. We know that Danny's path toward fully restored vision will be a slow and challenging road. But we are confident about the ultimate outcome and tremendously grateful that Dr. Sadri is the doctor who was 'sent' to help our son.
