A doctor shot by Bronx hospital madman Henry Bello took a bullet to his wrist — and at one point, it was feared that he might not be able to continue practicing medicine, a friend told The Post on Sunday.
But victim Dr. Hassan T𓆉ariq, 32, an attending physician at Bronx-Lebanon Medical Center, had surgery and “can moᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚve his fingers — and that’s the most important thing,’’ said the co-worker pal, Dr. Rafeeq Ahmed.
“The orthopedic surgeon has not given her final diagnosis, but it does not ꦺlook like 𝓰this will prevent him from being a doctor,” Ahmed said.
Ahmed🐓 said he doesn’t believe that Tari🐻q was being targeted specifically.
“[Tariq] does not know the man who shot him. I do not know him, either,” Ahmed said.
Several other victims of Bello’s bloodbath 💞also were identified by law-enforcement and hospital sources.
They include: a stand-out former Canadian college student, Dr. Justin Timperio, 29, who was shot in the chest; Dr. James Matthew, who was shot in the knee but may have hurt his head when he fell and is currently in the neurological surgery unit at M𝓀t. Sinai, and Dr. Oluwafunmike Ojewoye, who is from Baltimore and specializes in health-care disparities involving minorities.
Timperio is also an accomplished photographer who posted candid street shots, architect🔜ural photos, and portraits to his Flickr account.
At Bronx Lebanon on Sunday, Ojewoye’s relatives said she is resting comfortably and still shocked about theꦫ shooting.
Dr. Tracy Sin-Yee Tam, 32, was shot dead, andꦐ a sixth victim was a patient who h♉as not been identified.
Colleagues left flow🍬ers outside the Tam’s family’s Queens home Sunday, and her father was seen ෴embracing a neighbor before returning to his own home.
Tam was “well-loved, well-respected” and “always covering others shifts, always helping out someone whenever she could,” said Shailee Udani, 42, who attended Touro College with Tam and was a resident at Palisades Medical Center alongside the woman three years ago.
