A forty-six year old male patient hailing from India was saved by an ‘intravenous thrombolysis’ procedure performed at GMC Hospital, Ajman, on Sunday, 15th November 2015. The procedure was performed by Dr. Mohamed Hamdy, Fellow of Neuro-intervention from Zurich University Hospital, Switzerland, who is Assistant Professor of Neurology at Gulf Medical University and Specialist A Neurology at GMC Hospital, Ajman.

The patient was brought in at around 8:45 am on Sunday with acute stroke, indicated by paralysis of the right side, almost loss of vision in the right eye, difficulty in understanding words and slurred speech. The patient was also found to have high BP and high blood sugar.

As soon as the patient was brought to GMC Hospital, the hospital’s Emergency Response team swung into action. They performed preliminary investigations, collected blood samples and checked blood glucose. The team contacted Dr. Mohamed, who at the time was driving to work, for his opinion. Dr. Mohamed advised CT scan of the brain, which was done in just 15 minutes. He reached the hospital soon and observed that the CT showed ‘Occipital Infarction’ and ‘Small Basal Ganglia Infarction’ in the brain.
