A potentially lifesaving and mobility preserving procedure for Lancashire stroke sufferers will be available at the weekend for the first time from this Saturday.
He now says he is “genuinely delighted” that others may be spared the trauma he experienced as a result of the highly time-sensitive surgery not being available when he needed it.
For him, that absence of specialist treatment meant spending four months in hospital learning how to walk again - followed by a further two months in a wheelchair - after the left side of his body was paralysed. Had he received a thrombectomy, he could have had a far less arduous road to a recovery which saw him regain around 90 percent of his pre-stroke capability.
“There are more people now who won’t be living with a lifelong disability [as a result of the thrombectomy expansion] - but there has got to be a greater determination to get this to a 24/7 service,” Phil added.
