Doctor shares update on Salim Khan’s health
Dr. Parkar revealed that Salim Khan was put on ventilator as a safety measure since he got admitted with high blood pressure. He also stated that a small procedure took place this morning (February 18), as Khan suffered a minimal brain hemorrhage. The doctor said, “He was having jerks, and his blood pressure was high. We treated him. We had to put him on ventilator so that he does not worsen. It wasn’t because he was critical. We did investigations that were required. Today, we have done a small procedure on him. I will not go into its detail. He is fine. He is stable. He has been shifted to the ICU. By tomorrow, he will be off the ventilator. He is doing quite well. Age is a factor, I understand. That is why the process of recovery will take time.”
