 This happened on 17th Feb. It was 7.30 in the morning and like every day, I was preparing for a morning walk with my wife. I was tying my shoe laces when my head began to spin. I lay down for a while but it didn't stop. My wife came in and found my hands cold. She was holding on to my right hand when she called the ambulance. But my right hand dropped the right side of my face too. He was among those Indians who globally contributed to 60% of brain strokes. His head started spinning. His arm became numb. The right side of his face drooped and his speech slurred. Luckily, his wife recognized the symptoms and immediately called the Manipal emergency number. He was at the hospital within four hours of the stroke and his treatment immediately began. He survived and regained normalcy after successful rehabilitation owing to timely intervention, fast management and appropriate care from Manipal hospitals. With over 25 years of medical expertise, clinical excellence, Pan India presence and state of the art cath labs, Manipal hospitals is stroke ready.
