Veterans' Sports: Pickleball as a Path to Rehabilitation
In Odesa, veterans have started playing pickleball, promoting physical and psychological rehabilitation.
At Odesa City Clinical Hospital No. 10, doctors successfully conducted a remarkable operation that combined the treatment of an acute stroke and a pulmonary embolism.
The patient arrived at the hospital in critical condition, diagnosed with an acute stroke. A subsequent computed tomography scan revealed an obstruction in the middle cerebral artery.
Moreover, the medical team noted the patient's difficulty in breathing, prompting further examination of the lungs, which led to the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
The multidisciplinary team of doctors decided to perform a challenging yet life-saving operation, which involved simultaneous thrombectomy of the cerebral and pulmonary arteries.
The surgery was successful, and the patient's condition has significantly improved: she is conscious and able to move her limbs.
Modern medical technologies implemented at Hospital No. 10, along with the high professionalism of specialists who continually enhance their knowledge, contribute to saving lives and improving patient health.
