Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli was hospitalized in Thane on Saturday due to health complications. Dr. Vivek Dwivedi, who is overseeing Kambli’s treatment, revealed that the cricketer was admitted with a high-grade fever. In a subsequent update on Thursday, Dr. Dwivedi mentioned that Kambli’s condition was improving and he could be discharged in the coming days. However, he also noted that there may be some fluid retention that needs to be monitored.
“There Is One Condition”
“Yes, there is one condition. So, we call it NPH. But it will improve with the help of medicine. No surgeries are required. Neither further clots etc. Only with the help of medicine will it subside. So he will need a good rehabilitation. Rehabilitation means physiotherapy and nutritional support,” Dr Vivek Dwivedi, chief intensivist of Akruti Health City Hospital, said on Vickey Lalwani’s YouTube channel.
What Is Required For Vinod Kambli To Recover Properly?
“He will need a close monitoring. He will need rehabilitation, for which he will need money. He will need good physiotherapist twice a day, along with it he will need good nutritional support, speech therapy, there is some slurring. Rehabilitation is something which he will need. He will need good monitoring after discharge.”
Impairment Of Memory
“Yes, there is a little bit of impairment of memory function also. Definitely, there is some impairment. Neurodegenerative changes are there. So again, with the help of time and good rehabilitation, he will probably start functioning normally again. But not like 100 per cent, but definitely he will achieve 80-90 per cent of the memory, that previous memory,” Dwivedi said.
“This happens. Earlier, he was ethanolic. Three-four months back he stopped alcohol and smoking. At that time, he was ethanolic. Sometimes, that can cause it (memory loss). At present there is complete abstinence of alcohol. There is now withdrawal symptom too.”
