You want to be in that place? Crap I don’t even want to be in a regular gulag hospital now.
With advanced Sepsis, he’ll swell up like a grape then die.
My guess..a high WBC count. Aggressive leukemia. Probably AML. Requires immediate chemo.
Not with a name like that, which is very Persian. Certainly no implication of Hinduism there.
