L.K. Advani, 98, is 'stable' at Apollo Hospitals after admission on Friday evening; Nadda pays a visit
L.K. Advani, aged 98, was taken to Apollo Hospitals around 7:30 pm on Friday, October 16, and was undergoing treatment. Reports on Saturday, October 17, said his condition was stable. The Hindi service of the BBC quoted the hospital as saying doctors are monitoring his health continuously. Nadda visited him at the hospital. Three outlets carried the news. None stated a diagnosis or a date of discharge.
Health reports on elderly public figures spread fastest through forwarded messages, and the people most affected are family members who then field calls from relatives and reporters. Hospital bulletins are the only reliable record because they come from the doctors treating him, and a bulletin can change within hours, so check its time.
Share only the hospital's own statement if you pass the news on, and say when it was issued. Hold back anything that arrives without a named source, including voice notes, screenshots and posts that claim inside knowledge.
With a 98-year-old patient, stable is the word to wait for and repeat.
