and in the nick of time his doctor said.!
This young 38 yr old accountant with a wife and two children, a beautiful new home, two cars, a lake cottage and all the electronics to play with went for his annual physical to his doctor. Never having been really sick during most of his years, he went to a newer doctor in town as his former doctor retired.
Much to his horror, he was told after an MRI, he had a brain aneurysm, and further the on-set of type 2 diabetes.! ( Two Silent Creeping killers ) if not detected and treated. There is usually no warning pain signals.
When everything seemed to be going beautifully for the family, this came right out of the blue, and one can imagine the mental emotions going home to tell his wife.
He was told some people can live with an aneurysm, and some might have two .They can be treated and followed up with MRI’s ever so often. The risk of course….is when they burst, then, most everyone knows the answer to that.
There is no radiation involved with an MRI says Dr. Paul Donohue. ” Magnetic resonance imaging doesn’t involve radiation. It involves magnets and magnetic fields.” He says “a brain aneurysm is like an aneurysm on any other body artery. It’s a bulge, and it represents a weak spot. Actually it’s more like a blister.” “ And all aneurysms have an inherent RISK of BURSTING and causing brisk bleeding.” “ There is a danger anywhere in the body, but in the brain, it is often calamitous.! “ He told the young man his aneurysm was discovered by chance through his medical and MRI , and that is how many are discovered. “ He said few aneurysms produce symptoms before they actually burst.” “ Many, many remain silent for all of life. “.!
“YES….there is a chance for treatment if discovered in time,” says Dr. Donohue.
The good message here is get your annual physical asking for a thorough top to bottom.
Diabetes and brain aneurysms are are silent creepers giving little warning of trouble.
This again raises the question, “ Do you have a Will prepared, and does your family know where it is at ? “
