Dr. Tayyba Riaz Anwar, MD

Dr. Tayyba Riaz Anwar’s treatment of my daughter and me was nothing short of appalling. After the shift in focus from brain death to lung disease, she yelled at me, saying, “I don’t care what they say, your baby is brain dead!” It felt as though my daughter’s life didn’t matter, like she was just an object that they wanted to possess and do with as they pleased. It was as if my concerns were irrelevant, and the doctors just wanted to carry out their plans without considering the potential for my daughter’s recovery. Her behavior was cruel and dismissive, and it felt like she was trying to provoke a reaction from me, almost as if she wanted me to get violent so they could just ignore me and proceed with their own agenda. It was devastating to witness such a lack of empathy for both my daughter’s life and my own well-being as a mother.
