Earlier, the doctor shared, “He was having jerks and his blood pressure was high. We treated him. We had to put him on a ventilator so that he would not worsen. It wasn’t because he was critical. We did the investigations that were required. We have done a small procedure on him. I will not go into its details. He is fine. He is stable. He has been shifted to the ICU. He is doing quite well. Age is a factor, I understand. That is why the process of recovery will take time”.
