[Attributes of a messenger (doota)] Now we explain sign and symptoms of impending death of a person, pertaining to the characteristic features of doota (informer/messanger - who comes to call a physician to treat his patient). If a physician observes following signs in the informer, a physician is advised to gently avoid accepting the patient because the patient seems incurable.
