Hazare's condition satisfactory: Doctor

Gurgaon, Aug 30 (PTI) The condition of Anna Hazare, who
has been undergoing treatment at a hospital here after ending
his 12-day fast for a strong Lokpal, is satisfactory and it
will take another four to five days before he can be
discharged, a doctor said on Tuesday.
"He is doing well and is stable. He has also started
taking soft diet and today he took poha (a dish made of
flattened rice)," Yatin Mehta of Medanta Medicity in Gurgaon,
a Delhi Suburb, who is monitoring 74-year-old Hazare's health,
said.
"He walked for sometime in his room. His blood pressure
is 124/84 and pulse rate is 78 beats per minute," the doctor
told reporters.
Mehta said ketones in his urine have reduced which is
a "good sign". It will take four to five days before he
can be discharged from the hospital, he said.
Asked about how the activist is spending his time in the
hospital, Mehta said, "He has not read newspapers but seen
some news bulletins on television. His spirits are high."
The doctor said his weight stood at 66.6 kg and it has
not reduced since Monday. "This means his condition is
absolutely satisfactory," he said.
Hazare, who was admitted in the hospital on Sunday, had
weighed 72 kg before he went on his fast.
