Patient Experience
A 78-year-old retired architect with Parkinson's disease required deep brain stimulation surgery. Dr. Mohan's tailored anesthesia protocol accounted for his tremors and medication interactions, enabling precise electrode placement. Post-surgery, he regained handwriting ability for the first time in a decade, sending Dr. Mohan a thank-you note in his own script.
During a monsoon flood emergency, a 16-year-old aspiring dancer was rushed in with a severe head injury from a collapsed structure. Dr. Mohan managed her neurocritical care while coordinating with rescue teams to locate her missing family. The patient not only recovered fully but performed a thank-you dance at the hospital six months later.
A 42-year-old professional violinist developed a rare acoustic neuroma threatening her hearing. Dr. Mohan designed a neuroanesthesia plan preserving auditory evoked potentials during the 14-hour surgery. The musician retained perfect pitch and recently recorded her first symphony post-recovery.
An 8-year-old chess prodigy with epilepsy needed awake craniotomy mapping to preserve language centers near his seizure focus. Dr. Mohan used pediatric-specific sedation allowing him to solve chess puzzles during surgery. He now competes internationally with 50% fewer seizures.
A pregnant woman at 32 weeks developed sudden cerebral venous thrombosis. Dr. Mohan balanced neurocritical care with obstetric requirements, delaying delivery until neurological stability. Both mother and baby survived without deficits - the family named their daughter 'Sweetha' in gratitude.
A 67-year-old mountaineer with high-altitude cerebral edema was airlifted from the Himalayas. Dr. Mohan's innovative ICP management using portable monitoring systems during transport prevented irreversible damage. He recently completed a base camp trek to celebrate his recovery.
A 55-year-old chef with Guillain-Barré syndrome developed respiratory failure. Dr. Mohan's neurocritical care team used precise ventilator weaning protocols while incorporating olfactory stimulation with familiar spices. He returned to his kitchen within months, creating a 'Neuro Recovery' menu.
A 29-year-old software developer undergoing brain tumor surgery had rare anesthesia allergies. Dr. Mohan developed a novel regional nerve block technique for cranial procedures, avoiding traditional agents. The patient streamed his recovery journey, educating thousands about neuroanesthesia innovations.
A family of four in a car accident all required neurocritical care. Dr. Mohan coordinated separate teams for each member while keeping the family updated through a unified communication system. All recovered simultaneously and held their 'second birthday' party at the hospital.
An 81-year-old Holocaust survivor with dementia needed emergency subdural hematoma evacuation. Dr. Mohan learned basic Yiddish to comfort her during consciousness periods and used trauma-informed sedation approaches. Her childhood memories returned clearer post-recovery, bringing closure to family mysteries.
A 33-year-old deep-sea diver developed decompression sickness affecting the spinal cord. Dr. Mohan orchestrated hyperbaric oxygen therapy while managing neurological complications, consulting with naval medical specialists. The diver now leads safety programs for commercial diving companies.
A 12-year-old with refractory status epilepticus had failed multiple drug protocols. Dr. Mohan implemented targeted temperature management with continuous EEG monitoring, breaking the seizure cycle after 72 hours. The child's first words upon waking were 'thank you, doctor lady'.
A 60-year-old Buddhist monk with a pituitary macroadenoma refused blood transfusions for religious reasons. Dr. Mohan developed a blood conservation strategy using acute normovolemic hemodilution and cell salvage techniques. He returned to his monastery and composed prayers for medical caregivers.
A 45-year-old journalist with a ruptured aneurysm during a war zone assignment was medically evacuated. Dr. Mohan managed complex vasospasm while coordinating with international health services. The patient later published an investigative piece on neurocritical care in conflict areas.
A 6-year-old with Rasmussen's encephalitis required functional hemispherectomy. Dr. Mohan created a pediatric anesthesia protocol mimicking natural sleep cycles to minimize psychological trauma. The child's artwork depicting her 'brain adventure' now hangs in the pediatric ward.
