Dr. Bostroff

 

Dr. Bostroff was the last doctor who atttended Mateshwari ji at St. May's Hospital in London. Mateswari ji was very sick in London. On 5th of August 1967 as Mateshwari began to lose physical consciousness, Priya Nath telephoned the emergency medical aid services, who removed Mateshwari to St. Mary’s Hospital in London. A certain Dr. Bostroff attended upon her. Both, Pran Nath and Priya Nath, offered their kidneys for a transplant if it was possible. But the doctor shook his head. It was too late. He said he would try his best, and that the case would take some time. He urged Shri Nathji and Pran Nath to return home and rest for a few hours. But no sooner had Shri Nathji, Pran Nath and Priya Nath returned to their home at 10, Fawley Road, when they were informed over phone that Mateshwaji's has just passed away.
