Murali's findings

The 4th batch from Mky, received around 1 pm:
Spoke to the hospital. Prof. B is in the third floor ICU. At 12.40 p.m, they said he had been shifted to the ICU after surgery. The duty nurse said he is comfortable and stable.
***
Contacted the hospital again at 5.10 p.m. The only attendant there was Prof. B's old student, an Israeli guy who we might have seen in Prof. B's house.
Tall and fair chap who was doing research in 1993-94.
The Israeli guy said that what the hospital meant by "stable" was that there was no fluctuation in the last 24 hours. But, according to him, Prof B. is not good and critical.
No one else seems to be in the hospital and the Israeli said that he has been there ever since Prof B. went into the ICU.
***
Just spoke to Prof. (Mrs) Bhatt at 5.35 p.m. and she has given me a totally different picture. Says that Prof B. had solids yesterday and that he will need time to regain strength.
Said Prof. Ganesh is in Bangalore and that she spoke to him yesterday, but she is not sure whether he has returned to Chennai since. Prof G. was at the hospital with Prof Bhatt... Mrs B said he will have the correct information.
Must add that the Israeli was a bit abrupt, but the ICU nurse was optimistic.
