1 Dr. Sayeed
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. What do you recall?
4 A. I recall the day I treated him in
5 the emergency room; that I remember in some
6 detail. His subsequent visits in my office,
7 I -- I loosely remember.
8 Q. Okay. Tell me what you remember
9 about his presentation to the ER.
10 A. Sure. He presented, I believe, in
11 the evening. On the day I saw him, I was on
12 call for plastic surgery and hand surgery at
13 North Shore Manhasset. He was presenting
14 with open wounds and inability to extend his
15 fingers which -- when I was called that's
16 what I was told, and that he injured his hand
17 with glass. On seeing him in the emergency
18 room, I examined him. I went over his
19 history and, based on his injuries, I
20 described to him what was wrong.
21 At that point Dino said that he knew
22 a hand surgeon and plastic surgeon Burt
23 Greenberg that operates in the same community
24 as myself. At that point I said to the
25 patient that you're -- you have extensor

1 Dr. Sayeed
2 on call at North Shore?
3 A. I'd say at least -- I take call
4 there for plastic surgery/hand surgery. And
5 I'm also one of the very few number of
6 surgeons who is asked to take replant surgery
7 call there. So I take one week a month of
8 replant call. I don't remember in 2017 if it
9 was a week or not. That's if there's an
10 amputation of fingers reattached. There are
11 only for or five of us who do that in the
12 entire hospital. I take probably three days
13 of hand call and about the same of plastic
14 surgery.
15 Q. How is the schedule determined?
16 A. One of the -- I think the chief of
17 the division creates the schedule and then we
18 change amongst ourselves, if needed.
19 Q. Who was the chief of the division in
20 2017?
21 A. I don't remember. There's a -- the
22 schedule comes from Dr. Lyle Leipziger•s
23 office. I don't know if he's the chief at
24 North Shore Manhasset. I believe he's the
25 chief at LIJ. They're chiefs, they're

8 there. So I'm there frequently.
9 Q. Where else did you perform your
10 cases in 2017?

12 few cases at Lenox Hospital. I mean, I go to

14 Northwell. But the bulk of my procedures are
15 done at Manhasset, North Shore University
16 Hospital at Manhasset, and Long Island
17 Jewish.
