My Present Health Condition- An Update 19/03/2019
With the fast
deteriorating health condition and in the context of the development of
complexities, the prisonʹs Chief Medical Officer in consultation with
the doctors of GMCH and the Dean of the Government hospital decided to
send me to the Departments of Cardiology, Neurology and Neurosurgery
immediately. Unfortunately, there are no adequate faculties and methods
of conducting the required investigations available at Government
Medical College Hospital (GMCH), and GMCH Super specialties hospital,
Nagpur. These Departments have already recorded non-availability of the
facilities in the medical records earlier in 2014 and 2018. As there is
no alternative here, I will be sent to these departments next week for
immediate and emergency treatment whenever possible. I have been
experiencing unbearable pain in my damaged muscles of the left hand,
frequent and complete blackouts, round the clock dizziness and heavy
pressure in my brain, and sleeplessness due to the shooting pain. The
drugs have turned ineffective. Even sedatives have stopped working on me
now. The prison doctors have informed me that they have held
discussions with the doctors of the Departments of Physiotherapy (PT),
Occupational Therapy (OT) and Orthopedics. Now they have decided to send
me for different therapies daily and regularly because of my critical
condition. It is too late.
Next week I will be also sent to the Department of Plastic Surgery to evaluate for muscle/tendon transfer surgery and nerve transfer surgery— none of which are available at GMCH-SSH. It is only a formality to send me.
It is pertinent to mention one important thing here. Though they have decided to send me to the above six departments now after repeated recommendations for the same in the past two years, it is not possible in practical terms to avail any minimum medical treatment because of the following reasons:
1. Adequate and proper treatment facilities are not available at GMCH-SSH; they are available only in Hyderabad + Delhi.
2. Police escort personnel are not available to take me regularly and daily to the hospital; it is a perennial problem.
3. I am not in a position to travel everyday or even for a single day. My physical condition is now impossible for traveling.
4. These Departments do not have facilities to admit me in the hospital (unless I agree for a surgery for which I have no courage to undergo in an ill-equipped hospital— for the removal of the gallbladder.) These Departments treat only outpatients unlike hospitals in Hyderabad and Delhi.
5. Everyday, my family members are required to be present in the hospital to handle my body, which is not possible.
As my condition has worsened, the escort police personnel now have to literary lift me in their hands to shift me to the vehicle, to the wheelchair, and to the hospital bed every time. They are untrained to do this and reluctant fearing inadvertent wrong handling resulting in further damage. Similarly, the two helpers in my cell have turned increasingly reluctant to continue as my position has been developing increasingly vulnerable for them to handle. They are no longer in a position to handle me.
I am half-dead by now. With the temperatures of Nagpur rising to 40 degrees Celsius even in early March, my condition is impossible to be controlled. All the ailments have gotten aggravated. Urinary and Prostate problems, pancreatitis an Syncope have reached uncontrollable levels. I have no courage to travel to the hospital on daily basis. Even if I go somehow, there is only temporary and cosmetic treatment without any real answers to my ailments. Kindly represent all these aspects mentioned here and in my 9th March letter as examples to your comprehensive document placed before the Honʹble Court after 4th March 19 (after the change if the bench now.)
