What Did The Doctor Say?
Salim Khan's doctor, Dr Jalil Parkar, said his patient had suffered a minimal brain haemorrhage and underwent a medical procedure on Wednesday morning.
"There was a minimal brain haemorrhage. A procedure called DSA was done this morning. No surgery was required. He is still on a ventilator. Hopefully, by tomorrow, he will be off the ventilator. Keeping in mind the age, the time of recovery is longer," Dr Parkar told the media.
"He's fine, he's stable... All in all, he's doing quite well," he added.
The doctor further stated that Salim Khan's blood pressure was "high" at the time of admission and that he was experiencing some "jerks". "He was given immediate care at the hospital," he said.
Salim Khan was rushed to the hospital's emergency ward on Tuesday morning by family physician Dr Sandeep Chopra before being shifted to the ICU.
"After initial diagnosis and medication, we realised he needed ICU care. We put him on the ventilator because we wanted to do certain investigations. He was put on the ventilator as a safeguard so that he doesn't worsen," Dr Parkar said.
Doctors clarified that his condition was never "as critical" as widely reported. A team of neurologists and cardiologists is currently monitoring his recovery.
