A local Tamil channel – Puthiya Thalaimurai TV – has leaked details of deceased AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa's patient care report from when she was admitted to Apollo Hospital.
The report revealed that her oxygen saturation levels were critically low and so was her sugar level.
She was admitted in a completely conscious state with fever and dehydration, as opposed to what the hospital had initially reported, where they claimed that she had come to the hospital in a semi-conscious state.
As India Today reports, there was no sign of pain or injury when she was brought to the hospital.
Tamil Nadu’s most popular Chief Minister and AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa died at the age of 68 at a private hospital in Chennai in December 2016. She suffered a cardiac arrest.
Jayalalithaa had been admitted to Apollo Hospital over two months ago with complaints of fever and dehydration, on 23 September. There was hardly any information about what ailment she had, only constant health updates from the hospital authorities, and minimal information was made available to the public.
It was also known that she was diabetic.
