‘He told doctors he had lived a full life’
Doctors and nurses treating 103-year-old H.S. Doreswamy saw him as a fighter. But for the last 10 days, he refused medicine and food, they said.
C.N. Manjunath, director of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, where Mr. Doreswamy was admitted said he had turned very philosophical.
“He kept telling us that he had lived a full life and insisted that his bed be given to a young person.. He questioned why he should get such good treatment. I tried to convince him and tell him we have no shortage of beds,” he said.
