A Recovery Case in “Al-Buqai’i’s World” Worth Stopping and Reflecting On
Written by: Ibn Al-Balad

Basel Oteir was told by doctors that there was no hope of recovery from the paralysis in his right leg, caused by a bullet wound that passed through his knee, leaving the leg paralyzed. Some doctors even recommended amputation.

But I invite you to pause here—because Basel now holds a black belt in Taekwondo?!?

So, what’s the story, folks?

Does Dr. Mohammad Khaled Al-Buqai’i have a magic wand that transformed a shattered leg into a strong, solid one capable of practicing a physically demanding sport—especially one that relies heavily on the legs?

The answer: It wasn’t a magic wand, but rather fingers, forearms, knowledge, and over 44 years of experience.

The genius “Body Engineer” Al-Buqai’i, who has earned the title “The Arab Zewail”, treats some of the most complex physical conditions, including quadriplegia. In fact, Basel’s case was, in his words, “a small challenge.”

This Jordanian, Al-Buqai’i, has painted smiles and created joy on the faces of tens of thousands of people throughout his long career—and across the far reaches of the world.

His one key piece of advice: “Come early.” Healing is faster and easier when treatment begins promptly.

Jordan has every right to be proud of this remarkable figure—one who truly deserves a standing ovation.
