One of my neighbors had a stroke two days ago and he is in hospital
in deep coma. The doctors say one of his arteries bursted and the blood
leaked. His condition was stable until the doctors stopped his medicine
that were supposed to make him asleep. When they did it the pressure in
his head raised and they also got to a conclusion that he is paralised
in his left side. Currently his situation is again stable and the doctors
are arguing when and where to do the surgery to "fix" the torn artery.
Do you have any suggestions what steps are needed to be taken so he will
recover and what chances does he have to recover?
