Muaaz Zahid

This is Muaaz Zahid. I am a software engineer, teacher, and guitarist. I was on a rooftop in the Pakistani city of Faisalabad in July 2020 when my right hand accidentally touched a high-tension wire, sending 11,000 watts of electricity surging through my arm and driving the chemical count in my body to critical levels. The only way to save my life was to amputate my arm below the elbow.
"Immediately after the incident...I was hopeful, I just thought... I’m alive. I’m healthy. My legs are moving, My brain is working, My eyes are okay, everything is fine.”
“People wondered... Am I going to be able to play guitar again? This was a question mark for others, but it was clear to me that I would play again one day.” 
Ultimately, BIONIKS, which provides orthotics and prosthetics services in Karachi, found a solution. I shared my story with them. The result was a custom-designed Sroker for guitar and a Bionic Arm.
