��Secret of the steel glass that kept Kejriwal alive

Here is a cut from a blog by dr. Rakesh parikh, a medical scholar and a diabetologist who was caring for kejriwal at that time.

He exposes kejriwal completely :

"A team of government doctors visited him and advised urgent admission. Though our team of medical doctors was confident by then and stood by Arvind. Medical
practitioners can not take a fraction of risk, as its the matter of life and death.

The advise of government doctors was exactly the same that I gave on 4th day of fast.

Similarly Dr Ayyar, a cardiologist from Bhopal who joined us on 6th day had the same advise.

Being at Jantar Mantar 24×7 amidst crazy people dancing on tune of patriotic songs, waving tricolors and thousands of volunteers, we were more of common man having faith in destiny than medical doctors who would believe in lab reports.

I probably may not ever forget that evening of 2nd Aug when Anna declared that Arvind and others would end their fast the next day.

I had the latest reports of Arvind in hand.

His serum pottasium was 3.2, normal being 3.5-5 meq/l. Hypokalemia is very risky and the levels were alarming. Further drop in popotassium could lead to sudden heart problem.

I went to the cabin where Arvind was put up. We both were alone in the room. I informed him about the low potassium levels and the risk involved.

Then I argued –
Anna has already declared that fast ends tomorrow, we are going for a political alternative. But tonight your life is at risk for no reason. If you consume some coconut water, your potassium would remain normal.

Consuming coconut water wont break your fast.

His response was -
“Dr Parikh, we are not alone in this room. Almighty is there and I cant cheat. Anna has said that i will end the fast tomorrow and that’s it.

Whatever the consequence be, be it
sensible or not, I wont take anything by mouth till an announcement is made by Anna tomorrow.”

This was that secret steel glass that was keeping him alive with all odds.

A firm belief in Karma, dedication for the cause and preparedness for the ultimate sacrifice if need be.

I hardly slept during those 7 days and that night off course I could’t even take a nap.

The graph a dipping potassium levels was floating in front of my eyes.

But the man, Arvind Kejriwal who was not sure if he would wake up the next morning was sleeping calmly on his bed.

Next day before leaving for Jaipur after Arvind broke his fast, amidst the crowd of people around him, I waved my hand from the entrance of his cabin.

Arvind opened his arms, and embraced me. I broke down and cried in his arms like a child. Can’t figure out reason for this emotional outburst.

That was the moment when I got relieved of tremendous stress. Had a huge responsibility over my shoulders, being responsible for medical care of a man loved by millions of Indian youth.

Every moment his life was at the mercy of God, though people had a faith that he is being taken care of by a specialist doctor.

This relief might well have outbursted in tears.
