Continued from page 01 DR MERCHANT left around 29 youngsters in shock last week as he broke the news of his heart blockage to them. His patients, attending a de- addiction programme at a rehabilitation centre in Kalyan, got their first hint when the doctor began calling them in batches at his home in Crawford Market for their therapy sessions instead of travelling to Kalyan.

He was recently diagnosed with a heart blockage and underwent a successful bypass surgery. However, as a thorough professional, he called for a meeting at Radio Club a week before his surgery with more than 60 people u2014 currently undergoing therapy and some who have successfully undergone the de- addiction programme in the past u2014 in attendance. Dr Merchant explained to them in detail about his health issues and even made arrangements by introducing a counsellor, Nabila Ankolvi, who will take care of the patients in his absence.
