Top Doctor Randeep Guleria On Saif Ali Khan's Injury
Top doctor and AIIMS former director Randeep Guleria in an exclusive conversation with Republic Media Network spoke about Saif Ali Khan's injuries.

New Delhi: Former AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria, spoke on Saif Ali Khan attack case, the injuries he received and his recovery and said that in his opinion if someone has had such a lot of injuries, it would be safer for him to take rest and be careful.
We have to go by two things, one is that the hospital records definitely show that he had significant injuries, therefore, he was operated upon. So, therefore, there were significant injuries.
"Second, he (Saif) has made a recovery which is remarkable and if you have so many injuries, one would want to be on safe side and not sort of walk out like this… you would like to be either on a wheelchair or be careful that your injuries don’t get aggravated," Guleria said.
He continued and said, “One would want a person to actually not walk around like that because it could aggravate his underlying condition and that is something one needs to careful about.”
Speaking further, Dr Randeep Guleria added, “If the injuries were not causing significant organ damage, then it's possible that with some medication and pain killers, one may walk around for sometime… but it's still risky from the medical point of view.”
“I would say you (anyone) should be careful because if one has had such injuries which is very close to the spine then it can get aggravated by such activities,” former AIIMS Director said.
“Most surgeons would advice to a person who had such injuries to have bed rest for sometime and not be very active. If Saif had an injury which is so close to the spinal cord and led to the spinal fluid leakage then it would better to be carful,” Dr Randeep Guleria advised.
