Priya Nath remains greatly worried after the incident. Shri Nathji was right, he had had a narrow escape. Priya Nath had read in medical literature that some heart patients even died while straining at stools. Gangabai Bhutt had told Priya Nath in 1986 that a relative of hers, who was a heart patient, had strained hard at stools and died on the spot.
