What drove the family of the boy with the bone-cyst to finally seek help from Sai Baba in Shirdi?

The family of the boy with the bone-cyst turned to Sai Baba out of sheer desperation after exhausting every other possible solution. According to the narrative in Chapter 34, the boy's uncle was a doctor, and they had tried numerous treatments from other physicians and expert surgeons, but to no avail. The text mentions that 'all native and foreign treatments were tried; all efforts were exhausted.' Even an attempt at surgery failed. When remedies reached their absolute limit and the boy's suffering continued unabated, they heard about the famous saint in Shirdi. They decided to try this 'last resort,' hoping that the calamity might be averted by seeking the darshan of Sai Maharaj and the application of his Udi.
