New Delhi: “My mind, my brain is all okay,” sacked CWG OC chief Suresh Kalmadi, currently lodged in Tihar Jail, on Thursday said dismissing reports that he was suffering from dementia, a disease related to memory loss.
67-year-old Kalmadi was taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences this morning where he underwent tests to confirm whether he was suffering from dementia. Doctors have advised him to come for another round of check-up on August 1.
Sources said Kalmadi may be admitted to the hospital for a ‘short duration’ on that day.
A three-member team including doctors from the department of cardiology and neurology are look into Kalmadi’s case.
“He was taken to the neurology department at AIIMS today at 9 AM,” AIIMS spokesperson Sunil Gupta said. Coming out of the hospital in the afternoon, Kalmadi said, “Five years ago I had undergone an operation of the heart valve. Whatever the problem is, it is of the heart and nothing else… My mind, my brain is all ok.”
“I remember everything and there should be no doubt about it. Whatever problem is… it is regarding my heart. A lot of treatment is being done for that,” Kalmadi said.
He had earlier undergone an MRI scan on 19 July at Lok Narayan Jai Prakash Hospital where the tests revealed that he was suffering from dementia which gradually affects cognitive functions of the person affected by it, reports said. (PTI)
