Kalmadi undergoes fresh medical check-up at AIIMS
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) Sacked CWG OC chief Suresh
Kalmadi, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, Monday visited
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for a fresh
medical check-up.
The Member of Parliament from Pune, who arrived at
around 10:00 am (IST) Monday, has not yet been admitted to the
hospital.
"Kalmadi is likely to be admitted at the institute's
cardio neurosciences department late in the afternoon," a
source in the hospital said.
A three member team of doctors including, Dr M V
Padma, cardiologist Dr Rakesh Yadav and Dr Aarti Vij, has been
formed to conduct tests on him.
Kalmadi, who is in jail for his alleged involvement in
CWG scam, was first taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital on
July 12 after he complained of dizziness.
"After tests, the hospital referred him to Lok Nayak
Jai Prakash Hospital to undergo an MRI test of the brain.
The MRI was done on July 19," DIG Tihar Prisons R N Sharma
had said earlier.
The test results stated in medical jargon, "Diffused
cerebral atrophy with old ischemic changes in brain parenchyma
with calcified granuloma in caudothalamic groove on left side
(of his brain)".
"After reading the MRI reports, DDU doctors advised us
to show him to a good neuro specialist either at AIIMS or GB
Pant hospital. Kalmadi, being an MP, requested in writing to
be admitted to AIIMS. That is why he is being taken there for
further treatment," Sharma had said.
67-year-old Kalmadi was first taken to AIIMS on July
28 for medical investigations and doctors had opined that he
be admitted there for a 'short duration'.
After the check-up, Kalmadi had dismissed reports that
he was suffering from dementia, a disease related to memory
loss.
