Lahore: Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who was attacked in a Lahore jail in Pakistan, is in 'deep coma' and official sources say no surgery can be conducted on him till his condition stabilises. Sarabjit has been put on ventilator and doctors at the Jinnah Hospital are trying to stabilise him.
Sarabjit was in an Intensive Care Unit of the Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, where he was admitted on Friday after being brutally beaten up at the Kot Lakhpat Jail. Official sources said that Sarabjit was in a "deep coma" and doctors were unable to perform surgery on him because of extensive internal bleeding caused by a severe head injury.
The sources quoted doctors at Jinnah Hospital as saying that Sarabjit's condition was measured as 5 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which indicates the level of damage or injury to a person's central nervous system. The GCS comprises tests of eye, verbal and motor responses. The three separate values and their sum are considered in deciding a person's status. The lowest possible GCS score is 3 while the highest is 15.
