A member asked:

Bleed on brain ..2nd stroke 3weeks after the first , is that a normal thing to happen? what happens while in induced coma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can happen : A second stroke is possible after a first stroke. The reasons for the stroke should be investigated to try to prevent new strokes (not always possible). A medically induced coma is used to allow for rest and healing.
