Doctor Mohammad Ali from Mississippi helps an Alabama teenager after shark attacks

One Mississippi doctor worked with a team of others on a Florida beach over the weekend to save the life of an Alabama teenager after she was attacked by a shark.

Dr. Mohammad Ali, an interventional radiologist at Baptist Medical Group in Jackson, was vacationing in Rosemary Beach, Florida, when the shark attacked two Birmingham-area teenagers on Friday. Ali and Dr. Ryan Forbess of family medicine in Orange Beach, Ala., were among those whose efforts helped save 15-year-old Lulu Gribbin, who was seriously injured in the attack. One of Lulu’s friends was also bitten by a shark, but was not seriously injured by the attack.

“It was amazing,” Forbess wrote in a Facebook post. “It was kind of God’s will for everyone to be there to help at the same time.”

Two men pulled the teenager out of the water. Ali and Forbess “were boarding with their family on a boogie board and not far away noticed commotion and blood in the water,” Mississippi Baptist Medical Center said in a Facebook post. “After pulling their own family out of the water, both doctors rushed to help. Dr. Ali noticed the severity of the injuries and applied a tourniquet to his upper leg and arm while a second doctor and emergency personnel also assisted.”

Lulu was airlifted to a hospital in Pensacola, where she underwent surgery, her mother Ann Gribbin wrote. Bridge care.

“This was the first big step,” wrote Ann Gribbin. “Once she was settled, her first words to us were, ‘We made it.’

“I am eternally grateful to the three surgeons, all the nursing staff and doctors at this hospital who saved Lulu,” she added. “I am grateful to the doctors and nurses who were on the beach that day.”

Ann Gribbin said her daughter’s right leg was amputated to mid-thigh and her arm was not bitten by the shark. Lulu Gribbin will likely need four or five more surgeries to complete her amputations, her mother said in an article in the Pensacola News Journal.
