Only 3 percent of people who develop stroke, a medical condition, and reach the hospital on time, survive. The rest either die or end up with paralysis as a result of brain damage, said city doctors. \r\nStroke is the brain equivalent of a heart attack, but not as popular. The concern came up during a discussion on the disorder held at a city hospital. \r\nIn order to provide timely intervention, the south Mumbai (Jashlok) hospital has laid down ‘code stroke’ similar to code blue, which is activated in the hospital when the patient with a suspected heart attack reaches the casualty. |
