Wife's Plea Against Sonam Wangchuk's Admission In Govt Hospital : Live Updates From Delhi High Court Sunday Hearing
Court: even attendants are given separate room to rest?
Doctor says yes.
ASG: prayer says counsel. Deteriorating health condition. Its not a courtroom. We will rely upon AIIMS. I am prepared to go to the extent, if your ladyship feels, assuming that my friend still has, we can shift him to AIIMS. Assuming so. That's not my concession.
ASG: We have ensured even, Ms. Wanchuk is here, she is there with him in hospital. The prayer is… 24x7 access. Please see prayer…
ASG refers to Wangchuk’s recent medical reports: 2.9,2.8 (potassium level). There is a private lab, we did not stop at this. In addition, also in AIIMS, safdarjung, mahajan and one private lab. They have no reason absolutely whatsoever to have any sort of manner, he has been taken care of but he has to cooperate with attending doctors and what DB has observed.
ASG: one of prayers i will make would be that you would in light of DB and what SC held, its duty, we have to be cautious and if need be, should he refuse which he has, then reasonable amount of medical intervention required must be available to domain experts and doctors, he should like any other individual in this country, have complete faith in doctors.
ASG: He said ok if this is to be given, i have to be given sugar free variant of electrolytes.
He is not diabetic, he said after court asks.
ASG: The kidney functioning will be impaired. This has to be potassium centric, and all round evaluation of medical condition. We have 2 doctors of urgency to look at critical aspect. He is admitted in emergency division. This is latest medical report. The president of India takes treatment in AIIMS, this court specifically directs let a govt board go into it. There is presumption of govt sanctity from court. I am reading this, independently, paras 4,5 are in terms, they are guiding us.
ASG: His health was deteriorating. 18 days of fasting in this weather. Then this leads to syndrome known as ketosis. It may or may not reflect on parameters but it can lead to something known as a shock. If potassium goes down, it can lead to.. there is an expression, hypoglycemia.
ASG: If we read para 4,5….. I have to say with some responsibility. Doctor Kavita Rani, director Safdarjung, medical superintendent, senior faculty AIIMS, medical Safdurjung, all in court. Medical bulletins also issued.
You have to tell me if there was some compelling circumstances you took him way? Court asks
Sibal: They say my potassium level came down. We got samples. It was 3.6 instead of 2.9. But i want to go to hospital of my choice. Your lordships may take my statement.
ASG Sharma: This petition purportedly raised but i am dealing with them. Your lordships may see order of division bench, please note para 4,5. SG stated that health condition will be monitored daily by govt doctors and experts of field. Whatever medical intervention shall also be taken.
Sibal: We seek his discharge. We have talked to Medanta.
