“I called my doctor and asked for help… so he introduced me to a gynecologist who would come to my house around 11 pm and put me to sleep with injections. She would sit there until I fell asleep. She used to ask my staff to keep an eye on me. This sequence continued for 10 days. And on the 11th or 12th day, I called them and said ‘I am fine and can proceed.
