pain. His wife frantically called up the physician Dr. Joshi, who came in shortly

after. The doctor, after quickly checking Vinods pulse, informed that he had to

be immediately admitted to a hospital. Soon Vinod was taken to the nearest

nursing home where an electrocardiogram (ECG) was carried out. The results
