Critical Care Specialist,  's  Response
hello. I am sorry to hear about your brother's injury. There are some questions that I need you to answer for me before I make an opinion. Did your brother undergo a CT scan after the injury? have you shown him to to a neurologist/ neurosurgeon? Is his movement/ strength on the left side fine? In all likely hod your brother has suffered an injury to the brain tissue on the right side which gives sensation and power to the right side of the body, he needs a CT scan and evacuation of any blood clot if it is there. If the injury is diffuse then he would require conservative management. he definitely needs a neuro opinion do not delay it at any cost.
