Patient Information

• Gender: Male
• Country of Residence: USA

Diagnosis: Cerebral hemorrhage with post-stroke symptoms (left-sided numbness, neuropathic pain, impaired motor function)

Mark's Journey:

In March 2018, Mark suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at home, leaving him with persistent numbness and neuropathic pain on his left side. His motor function was impaired, making walking challenging and causing anxiety about falling. For eight months, various treatments failed to provide relief or improve his condition.

Mark, a dedicated father of two daughters, refused to give up hope. He discovered Beijing Puhua International Hospital (BPIH) offered stereotactic surgery for stroke patients. Mark traveled from San Francisco to BPIH on December 1, 2018, seeking treatment and hoping for recovery.

Treatment at BPIH:

• December 7: Stereotactic surgery was performed under local anesthesia.
• Postoperative care: Mark received tailored neurological supplementation, rehabilitation exercises, and acupuncture treatments. His nerve pain decreased significantly, and his overall physical strength improved.

Milestones during Treatment:

• Mid-December: Mark walked unassisted around the hospital ward.
• Before returning home (December 15): Mark visited a local shopping mall in Beijing without using a wheelchair, saying, "I can go by myself; let me rekindle my hope for life!"

Returning Home:
On December 15, Mark returned to the United States with his mother. He planned to adjust his lifestyle and diet to lose weight, manage blood pressure and lipids, and prevent stroke recurrence. He committed to continuing rehabilitation exercises.

Follow-up Plan:
Mark plans to return to BPIH for a follow-up physical examination next summer, aiming for further improvement in his condition and overall well-being. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him again!
