VETERAN Communist leader Jyoti
Basu, who has just
turned 96 years of age, was taken ill on the morning of July 12, 2009
and was
shifted forthwith from his Salt Lake residence to a nearby medical
institution.
The usual run of medical tests
found nothing
substantially wrong with the leader after he was admitted for
observation and
further tests.
A day later, he has partaken of
meals of semi-solid
food and is recovering well. As a
convalescent, he has been kept in the ICCU unit and will in due course
be
shifted to a room.
A marvellous feature that the
medical board discovered
while going through the report of his latest CT scan that the small
haematoma
that Jyoti Basu had developed back in October last year has gone on the
recession,
remarkable for a person of his age.
Among others, Bengal state
secretary of the CPI(M)
Biman Basu and Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee dropped in
for a
view of the ailing CPI(M) Polit Bureau member.
