Claim
Safdarjung omitted Wangchuk's actual potassium value (2.9) from its public bulletin, disclosing only 'decreasing' levels.

Rationale
A genuine transparency dispute with no independent adjudicator. Angmo says the hospital told the family 2.9 and called it life-threatening while publishing only 'decreasing'; hospital sources say the Patient Summary Report shared on 18 July did contain the values (2.9 mEq/l blood gas, 2.92 mEq/l repeat serum). An independent lab test on a sample released after ~10 hours of requests returned 3.5 — which sits at the very bottom of the 3.5-5.1 reference range, so 'within normal range' is technically true but rhetorically generous. Neither side's document has been third-party verified. Recorded because the dispute itself is established, not because either number is.
