In summer, 2016, my mom got into a terrible accident due to medical reason. Fortunately, she walked out of it unscratched, which was a miracle. Unfortunately, we found out that she has an aneurysm on the left side of her brain. We consulted a neurosurgeon and admitted her in the hospital for her angiogram.
My mom was admitted in the Boulder Community Hospital and I was satisfied with all the care she got in this health care facility. As soon as we walked in the hospital, it was easy to navigate the facility. The register was very nice and helped us very smoothly with no issues. My mom was then handed over to a nurse. She greeted us very kindly and took us to a room that was booked for my mom. Rather than rushing my mom to tell her about her

    Pros And Cons Of Endovas Circular Coiling

With advances in technology, interventional procedures can be performed on several areas of the body with success in conjunction with using live x-rays during exams. Cerebral aneurysms often can be in susceptible areas of the brain, and usually, are considered somewhat high risk in nature.

    Brain Tumors

    In 2008, my grandmother began feeling especially tired, had trouble sleeping, often forgot information she knew by heart, and could not perform basic mental tasks, which are all symptoms of brain tumor (Liu et al., 2009). While she just overlooked it thinking she was stressed or exhausted, her second youngest son (the one who lives near her) advised her to go to the hospital to check her brain as a precautionary measurement. Thankfully, she listened and was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was still in its relatively early stages. Our entire extended family is grateful to the second youngest son as he was her primary caregiver and made a wise suggestion instead of also overlooking the symptoms. When our family heard the news from relatives…
