Published on August 29, 2019, Kenyan gospel singer Jimmy Gait has spoken out about being misdiagnosed by Kenyan doctors, who recommended surgery without conducting thorough tests.
After traveling to India two weeks ago for treatment, Gait revealed that medical tests done on him in India revealed he was misdiagnosed by Kenyan doctors.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Gait said that doctors in Nairobi diagnosed him with a strange throat condition and recommended an operation without conducting any tests.
However, after seeking the services of another medic, specifically from India, and after consultations, the doctor said the proposed operation would have left him unable to ever sing again.
"This is because your voice would have permanently changed. You couldn’t have been able to sing. That was truly shocking and I couldn’t believe my ears," said Gait.
According to Gait, Dr. Sanjay Khanna, who has been treating him at BLK Hospital in India, says that the pain he was experiencing in his throat was actually as a result of increased acid production leading to an infection in his stomach.
Dr. Khanna also mentioned that the artiste is responding positively to medication and would be discharged soon.
