DO YOU KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT STROKE IS A SPIRITUAL DISEASE AND SO GO TO SPIRITUAL HOMES AND CHURCHES FOR TREATMENT
It is still surprising that till this time, so many people have
failed to understand the physiological functioning of the body system. They do
not believe that at one point in time someone can actually fall sick due to
physiological imbalance that might occur in the system, and which will require medical
intervention to correct the imbalance. Instead they will tell you its spiritual
attack.
No one is against anyone becoming highly spiritual, but
becoming unnecessarily careless with your life in the name of being spiritual
is totally unacceptable, even God will hold you responsible for that. I have seen so many people die from ordinary
malaria because of spirituality. Someone will be having signs and symptoms of malaria,
instead of going to the hospital, will rather bring water and convert it with
prayers to spiritual drugs and drink and tell you he or she is alright and by
the time complication arises, the person dies.
A woman was brought to the hospital half dead, after the doctor
saw her; he diagnosed cerebrovascular accident (stroke). He told the relatives
the woman has stroke. The husband of the woman said they are aware of the fact
that she has stroke, but the type of stroke she has is the spiritual type and
not the hospital type (inukwa). That their pastor foresaw this stroke some
months back and told her that someone from somewhere will inflict her
spiritually with stroke and that if she happens to go to hospital she will die.
So she should go into some serious prayers. Meanwhile this woman has been suffering from
high blood pressure which they claimed that God has been taking care of it and
the pastor told her to stop every drug and face prayers. When she now went down
with stroke, they moved her to the church according to pastor’s order who
prayed for her till he could no longer continue when her condition worsened and
they pastor disappeared they now brought her to the hospital.
WHAT IS STROKE?
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures
and bleeds, or when there is a blockage in the blood supply to the brain. The rupture
or blockage prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the brain’s tissues. Without
oxygen, brain cells and tissue become damaged and begin to die within minutes
Signs of stroke
Paralysis, numbness or weakness of arm in the arm , face and
leg especially on one side of the body, trouble speaking or understanding
speech, confusion, trouble walking etc.
Risk factors that can predispose you to stroke: Unhealthy diet,
inactivity like lack of exercise, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, age, heart
disease, high blood pressure etc. (www.healthline.com)
FROM THE TABLE OF THE GOOD NURSE

Please my brethren, the God that created Doctors
and nurses, knows what he did by doing so. If you think you can pray, first of
all take your sick one to the hospital, and then back up every treatment with your
prayers.

Stroke requires prompt medical attention. Immediate
treatment is key to preventing brain
damage, long term disability and death that could result from delayed treatment
of stroke. (photo credit: www.google.com)
