A two-year-old video of Richard Beale, the London-based intensivist who treated late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, saying that she herself did not want to be taken abroad for treatment, surfaced on Monday. Talking about her going abroad, Dr. Beale said V.K. The person who is asking him questions then wonders aloud why Apollo Hospitals did not call him after November 2, 2016. I was in touch with Babu (Dr. Babu Abraham)…but exactly why I was not able to come in…or what they felt.”“She was certainly improving…they felt she was making progress,” he added. Dr. Beale was supposed to testify before the Justice (retd) A. Arumughaswamy Commission on January 9, but the proceedings have been adjourned to January 10 when Health Minister C. Vijaya Baskar is supposed to provide his testimony.
