About Asst. Prof. Dr. Harun Or Rashid Khan

Pedaling a heavy wooden rickshaw through the crowded streets of Chashara wears down the human body. The knees take the hardest beating. Decades of pushing against the pedals leave older drivers with grinding joint pain. They wrap their legs in cheap cloth bandages and keep working. Stopping means their children go hungry. Eventually the cartilage wears out completely and a simple misstep off the curb causes a severe fracture. Asst Prof Dr Harun Or Rashid Khan steps in to treat these worn out joints and broken bones. He serves as an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery. His medical education is deeply rooted in practical training. He started with an MBBS degree. He then secured a D Ortho from Dhaka University. He pushed his surgical skills further by completing an MS in Ortho. You will find him consulting patients at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. An aging driver might limp into the chamber supported by his teenage son. The pain in his knee has become unbearable. Dr Harun Or Rashid Khan approaches the old man with deep respect. He knows the harsh reality of street labor. He examines the swollen joint gently. He orders an X ray to see the exact state of the bones. The film usually shows bone rubbing directly against bone. Working as an Assistant Professor gives him a natural ability to explain complex anatomy. He does not use confusing medical jargon to describe the condition. He compares the knee joint to the rusty hinges of a wheel. He explains how the natural cushion in the joint has disappeared. He tells the family what medications will reduce the swelling. If a minor procedure is needed he draws a simple sketch to show how he will fix the damaged tissue. Sending a poor transport worker to the capital city for bone treatment is a massive financial burden. The highway traffic makes the journey agonizing for someone with a swollen leg. Having a DU educated orthopedic specialist right in the neighborhood changes the reality for these families. They can visit the local clinic without losing days of income. Follow up appointments to check the healing progress become a simple walk down the street. Moving without pain allows a father to keep providing for his family with his head held high.
