Treatment Record

Detailed Treatment Process

Outcome of Treatment

Hemiplegia as a permanent sequela

Outcome Analysis

Before both procedures, the patient had been completely asymptomatic. It is a strange aspect of the world that people with no symptoms at all still rush to the hospital for surgery.

Audit Intervention

If the patient had contacted this website before either of the two surgeries, neither procedure would have taken place. More importantly, if she had reached out while seeking care for her headaches, none of this would have happened. That would have addressed the issue at its root.
