So, his family rushed him back to Dr. Gaikar’s clinic. This time, his sister claimed his blood had turned blue. Since they couldn’t provide proper treatment there, the boy was admitted to a bigger hospital where he was stabilized, and Wadia.They were told to take the child to the hospital, but since there were no beds available at Wadia Hospital, the child was admitted to Sion Hospital.
