Faint situation: My brother had both failed kidneys and he is in faint situation from 4 days. Dr says he should come out of in faint situation? Will he be saved? ANS: I have no idea what a "faint situation" is. Is he starting on Dialysis/ If so should be better in a few days. "Saved" has different meanings in different parts of the world. Not certain what you mean.
