A 38-year-old successful man had a highly stenosed left middle cerebral artery
A 38-year-old man created a catering kingdom with his bare hands and became an admired young entrepreneur. He used to work very hard and was always busy entertaining clients. His wife and friends were concerned about his busy schedule and tried to make health examination appointments for him for several times. However, he ended up postponing or canceling the health exams with many excuses. Until one day, he witnessed a health crisis occur to his friend who worked as hard as he did, he realized that he needed a comprehensive health examination and high-end medical imaging examination. The test results surprised him greatly. It never occurred to him that he could have up to 70% stenosis over his left middle cerebral artery, indicating that he is actually at very high risk of stroke.
“How is that possible?” he kept asking the doctor after witnessing his stenosed cerebral artery images. The doctor on one hand calmed him down and emphasized that the definitive diagnosis should be made by a specialist. On the other hand, with the assistance of the health manager, the doctor provided professional advice and referred the subject to the Department of Neurology for follow-ups and further treatment. After such incident, the subject recognized the importance of health examinations and felt lucky to detect and treat his illness early. He used to talk about future business plans with his friends. Now, he started to talk his friends around to the idea that the least profitable business is to exchange health for career!
