Last updated: 2020-01-10 08:00Life is impermanent, cherish the old-fashioned people in front of you, but it is the most real. Ms. Chen (pseudonym), 60, originally had a happy family. She had a 20-year-old daughter who was still studying, and Aixi ’s own husband. But a few years ago, she suffered a stroke due to a cerebral hemorrhage due to a surgery. Although she survived after treatment, However, only the left hand and head can be depressed. Due to the loss of self-care ability, they need to be transferred to the home. The family feels very embarrassed, and because of the slurred speech after the stroke, it is difficult to communicate with the family, even if they want to drink a glass of water. It is clear that she is often irritable, arrogant and passive, and hopeless about the way forward.
Ms. Chan's case is just the tip of the iceberg of cerebrovascular cases in Hong Kong. According to information from the Department of Health, cerebrovascular disease is one of the four fatal diseases in Hong Kong. More than 80% of these cases were elderly people over 65 years of age. More than 25,000 cases of hospitalizations and deaths due to cerebrovascular disease, that is, an average of 70 cases per day, are worrying.

We cannot change the unfortunate things that have happened, but we can turn "unfortunate" into "hope." Like Ms. Chen's daughter, she never gave up her mother. Instead, she actively searched for a way to heal her mother, and finally found a combination of Chinese and Western treatments to revive her mother.
If the patient gives up after two or three months of trying, he will lose his chance of recovery
Registered Chinese physician Li Wanfa said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the rehabilitation course for stroke patients is ideally started immediately after emergency treatment and treatment. Dr. Li continued, "From the perspective of Western medicine, once the brain cells are necrotic, there is no way to recover, but from the perspective of Chinese medicine, people have self-repairing functions. As long as we can stimulate the nervous system of the brain, we have the opportunity to drive self-recovery functions." He added that each physique is different and the rehabilitation progress varies from person to person, so he will tailor the treatment according to the different needs of patients. He stated clearly: "For a typical stroke case, it takes half a year or more to see the results. If the patient gives up after only two or three months of trial, he will lose his chance of recovery."
Occupational therapist Chen Enci said that the combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine focuses on the communication between Chinese and Western medicine practitioners, and jointly develops a set of plans that can maximize the effectiveness of the situation.
Occupational therapist Chen Enci said that from the perspective of Western medicine, the functioning of physical functions depends on the coordination and effectiveness of different systems. For patients whose multiple health systems are affected by stroke, a series of procedures are performed for patients. Traditional and non-traditional and diverse treatments can more effectively activate the patient's function. He continued: "Combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine focuses on the communication between Chinese and Western medicine practitioners, and jointly develops a set of programs that can maximize the effectiveness of patients according to their conditions, hoping to speed up the rehabilitation process of patients.
Recently, a caring person donated 100,000 yuan to support the promotion of the above-mentioned Chinese and Western medicine treatment plan. The purpose is to allow patients with stroke or chronic pain with financial difficulties to apply.

I hope that through intensive training of traditional Chinese and western medicine, patients will be able to recover, encourage patients to start again, and renew their hope for rehabilitation.
