The frontman of the rock band “Poison” suffered a massive brain hemorrhage last month, and his doctors say that he is expected to make a full recover very soon.
Dr. Joseph Zabramski said, “I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100% recovery.”
Barrow Neurological Institute’s Barrow Neurological Institute went on to say, “He’s just one of those lucky people, the 20% or so who have a subarachnoid hemorrhage who make a complete recovery and are able to resume all of their normal activities.”
The doctors also said that they still do not know the exact reason for the kind of bleeding Bret Michaels had.
Dr. Zabramski further said, “Patients who don’t have anything identified in their angiograms tend to do well, this is one of those rare instances in medicine where we’re actually pleased not to be able to find what caused the problem.”
“Earlier on he was feeling pretty good, and I think he thought he was going to be up and about sooner than he was,” the doctor said. “(Then) this chemical meningitis thing takes over and he’s really suffering again right now.”
