Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s office maintained that Rakesh Siddaramaiah, who is undergoing treatment for acute pancreatitis at Antwerp University Hospital, Brussels, is recovering, but some doctors attending on him said his condition was very serious.
According to the CM’s office, doctors had told members of the family that infection was contained after the treatment commenced. Quoting doctors’ opinion, the CM’s office said infection did not spread to other parts, regarded as a positive sign.
When Deccan Chronicle contacted the hospital through an Indian residing in a nearby city, a doctor attending on Rakesh in the ICU declined to share details of Rakesh’s medical case. He, however, said "I can share details of his medical condition only with his immediate family members. His (Rakesh) condition is very critical." Doctors list four reasons for acute pancreatitis including ingested medicines and abnormal consumption of alcohol.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Rakesh Siddaramaiah went to Tomorrowland Fest-2016 in Belgium along with his friends, Shoiab, Keshav, Rohan and Chethan.
After they revelled, he complained of acute stomach pain. Now, he is on ventilator and doctors said they would comment about his condition at the end of 48-hour observation period.
Sometime in November or December, Rakesh reportedly underwent treatment for liver and pancreatic issues in a city hospital.
