Chapter 34 tells the story of a degree-holding doctor from Malegaon, in the Nashik district, whose nephew was afflicted with a severe ailment. Despite the doctor's own medical knowledge and the efforts of his physician friends and expert surgeons, no treatment could cure the boy. The illness was a bone-cyst, called Hadyavarn, which was described as a very difficult and extraordinary malady. The family exhausted all native and foreign treatments, and even surgery was unsuccessful, leaving everyone feeling helpless and distressed by the young boy's constant pain.
Can you tell me about the doctor from Malegaon and his nephew's illness mentioned in the Satcharitra?
