In my opinion, and that of any other stroke specialist, you are not going to see this man return to normal. It is just not possible.
More Quotes from Dr. Siller:
If they hadn't given him blood thinners and he had another clot-related stroke - which could have happened - there would have been outrage and criticism that the doctors had not treated the first stroke aggressively enough.Dr. Siller
They may start seeing several observations that are of course better than nothing, but the big picture is still going to be that he's had a massive stroke. The damage is already there and I still would stick to the opinion that his prognosis is very, very poor even if he survives.
Dr. Siller
If (the bleeding) was on the left side of the brain, it will undoubtedly involve his speech and comprehension. If it was on the right side of the brain then it's possible he could emerge from this with the ability to converse and make some decisions. At a minimum, he's going to be terribly incapacitated with at least a paralysis on one side of the body.
Dr. Siller
The doctors were responding to that first stroke properly with the use of blood thinners. It is unfair to critique them based on the information we have.
Dr. Siller
We are basically hoping he survives and that he has some kind of ability to get some rehab so he can have some useful function again. But we are talking about the basics, we are talking very basic things. The complexity of this man, and what he did for a living, this is not to even be considered now. This is absolutely unrealistic at this time.
