He had no history of fainting episodes and was conscious at the time of admission, with stable pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation, though doctors noted signs of dehydration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Medical investigations revealed compensated acidosis on blood gas analysis and low serum potassium levels. His blood sugar was recorded at 78 mg\/dl, while a repeat test confirmed persistently low potassium. Urinary ketones, measured at 1+ on admission, had increased to 3+ by 1 pm.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Meanwhile, Wangchuk&#8217;s personal physician, Dr Nitin Dighe, questioned the hospital&#8217;s assessment of his condition and alleged a lack of transparency in his medical care.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/dont-wait-for-tragic-outcome-anna-hazare-urges-centre-to-hold-talks-with-sonam-wangchuk\/articleshow\/132481686.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna Hazare asks Centre to open dialogue with Sonam Wangchuk Activist Anna Hazare on Saturday urged the Centre to initiate talks with educationist and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike.\u201cGovernment should not wait for a tragic outcome, and there is no harm in holding discussions,&#8221;
