My younger brother drove himself to the ER on January 13th with ‘the worst headache of his life’ and he was admitted and had CT scans done there. He waited there for ~23 hours before being transported to another hospital that was better equipped to deal with the situation and that’s where we more or less lost contact with him. They told him he would be going home in the morning, which is the last we heard from him. Truly we don’t fully understand what happened at the second hospital. They called us in the morning and told family to come in right away. He was already gone.
As far as we know there was a rupture which caused devastating brain injury. We’ve been trying to piece this all altogether since the event. We are shocked, heartbroken. And just very sad.
I finally have his medicals from hospital #1. This is what it says ‘Along the proximal segment of the basilar artery, there is a large aneurysm arising from the dorsal vessel wall. The aneurysm measures 17 x 17 x 19 mm’ this is all we really have for facts right now.
I’m just posting this to raise awareness and suggest others seek treatment immediately when experiencing symptoms like this. Thanks
