Doctors have told that 70 pc of his brain is dead and there is no chance of a revival. Need a rehability centre in or near mumbai. Pls help
Hi, Thanks for writing in. For a person to be taken care of for 3 years after stroke is not easy. I am sure you and your family have done your best in taking care of your father-in-law. Since 70 percent of his brain is not optimally functioning, the chances of his complete revival is low as your doctors might have already informed you. He must be taken care of as a newborn, and you are doing that. The question of putting him in rehabilitation center might be more difficult than the present situation. There are centers in Mumbai like Jason hospital and Kokilaben hospital, but you need to contact then in person to know how much the patient will benefit as you have mentioned that he is in a vegetative state. However, attending the euro rehabilitation clinical by a family member can help in patient care and extending his survival.
