As detailed in Chapter 34, the family from Malegaon turned to Sai Baba out of sheer desperation. The doctor's nephew suffered from a painful and difficult bone-cyst that resisted all forms of treatment. The text mentions that the doctor himself, his physician friends, and even expert surgeons were helpless. They tried all native and foreign remedies, and even surgery, but nothing worked. When all medical efforts were exhausted and the child's suffering continued, the family's relatives suggested turning to divine help. After prayers to other deities also failed, they heard about a famous Avaliya (saint) in Shirdi, Sai Baba, who could heal diseases. This led them to decide to try this "last resort" and seek Sai Baba's darshan.
