LAHORE: Doctors treating former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday refused to discharge the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo citing a serious health risk. However, doctors stopped giving him that medicine, following which his platelet count rose back up. Doctors further advised keeping the PML-N leader in the hospital till platelet count is normal. Doctors noted that if they focused on heart and kidneys, Nawaz’s platelet count fell but if the attention was instead shifted to his platelet count, his heart and kidneys problems increased. Doctors could not give him the medication for his heart condition at a time when his platelet count was 25,000, they said, adding that they were quite concerned because of both his heart and platelet count.
