According to the source material from Chapter 34, describe the medical condition of the doctor's nephew and the extent of the treatments he received before the family considered visiting Shirdi.

Chapter 34 details the severe ailment of a doctor's nephew from Malegaon, identifying the disease as a bone-cyst, or Hadyavran. It is described as a 'most difficult and extraordinary malady.' The chapter emphasizes the exhaustive but unsuccessful medical efforts to cure him. The boy's own uncle was a degree-holding physician, who, along with his expert and intelligent surgeon friends, attempted numerous treatments. According to the text, 'all native and foreign treatments were tried' and 'even surgery was attempted, but nothing succeeded.' The medical professionals became 'exhausted and felt helpless' as the young boy continued to suffer. It was only after reaching this limit with all medical remedies that the family heard about Sai Baba and considered a spiritual solution.
