Doctors in Ussuriysk have saved a 73-year-old man after he suffered a stroke. The incident marks the second such case in Primorsky Krai this year, following a similar event in Vladivostok in April. The emergency began when the man’s acquaintance called an ambulance. The patient had only managed to say one word: 'Bad'. The ambulance crew arrived in 19 minutes but had to break into the apartment to reach him.

Medical workers found the man with clear signs of a stroke: slurred speech and paralysis on the left side of his body. They conducted an immediate examination and consulted a neurosurgeon via telemedicine. The patient was then rushed to Vladivostok for emergency surgery. Doctors stress that rapid action is critical with strokes. The man’s life was saved due to the quick response and medical intervention. This case highlights the importance of acting fast when stroke symptoms appear.
