#TelestrokeTuesday: Roberto's Lifesaving Airlift to a Comprehensive Stroke Center 🚁 It is easy to see the appeal of living in a rural area...the peace and quiet, rustic beauty, and fresh air are just some of the pros. Yet, for all its peace and serenity, rural living comes with certain stark realities, particularly when it comes to medical emergencies. For 68-year-old Roberto, a man with atrial fibrillation and on anticoagulation therapy, this was his reality. Despite being on Eliquis, Roberto suffered a significant stroke, characterized by dense left-sided weakness and a right gaze deviation. 🚁 Rapid Airlift to Care Due to the time-sensitive nature of strokes, the stakes were incredibly high. Thankfully, despite being in a rural area, Roberto was able to be airlifted in time to a large Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC). This swift action was crucial, as the local hospital was not equipped to take care of patients with severe strokes. 🧠 Access to Expert Care After a consult and diagnosis from a virtual neurologist, Roberto underwent emergent endovascular therapy (EVT), a procedure that successfully achieved TICI 2C reperfusion, greatly improving blood flow to the affected area of his brain. Post-treatment, his NIHSS score improved dramatically, showcasing a substantial recovery. 🏥 The Importance of Rural Hospital Access At Sevaro, we envision a future where exceptional neurological care is accessible to every patient with a neurological disorder, regardless of their location. Roberto’s story highlights the vital need for rural hospitals to have access to vascular neurologists and Comprehensive Stroke Centers.

One of the best parts about having a great team? Oh, that’s simple. They might throw a surprise baby shower for your twins! At least, that's what happened to me. I was very lucky to have team members who understood how much attention my family needed from me when I was having my twins. In September 2023, my team flew in from different states to surprise my wife with a baby shower. We did not have a formal baby shower, we had some complications in the past and just wanted things to go smooth with not too much attention. They understood that and decorated everything, flew things in from different states before showing up, while my wife and I had zero clue. They even coordinated with my family to ensure nobody told us! Receiving such a surprise was heartwarming and showed us how much love our twins would receive as they entered this world. The most unbelievable part is that until five years ago, none of these people were part of my life. Now, I have celebrated so many personal milestones with these amazing people. I have not only been able to build relationships with my team members but with their families as well. At the same time, these people stuck with me during the toughest of times personally and professionally. Which I am truly grateful for. This is just a simple example of the true strength of how remarkable things can happen when a few strangers get together and move in the same direction.

Back in India in 1987, my father was an aeronautical engineer and business owner. Then, he brought our family to the United States on November 11th. At a stall in East Brunswick Square Mall, he sold watches. And I’d come and help him as a kid after school. This is a long time ago - frame of reference - girls were buying New Kids on the Block watches (Rebecca Mallon, MBA, HCM, BSN, RN, SCRN). There was a time when he also brought newspapers to people’s doors to help us get by. He and my mom turned down invitations to social gatherings, parties, and birthdays, and gave up their own desires. He felt no shame going from a business owner in India to selling newspapers door to door when he came to this country. My mom worked at a store called “Woolworth” and then “Caldor” (the equivalent of K-mart/Walmart). Their work ethic was incredible. I saw how they took a difficult situation and through years of hard work, eventually my father built his own successful businesses. While building Sevaro from the ground up, the team and I endured plenty of challenging moments where we thought of giving up. We questioned if it would be worth it. We missed out on friends birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, vacations and worked on holidays. Everyone asked why we worked so hard. But I kept reminding myself about what my father had sacrificed 35+ years ago. “If he was able to put everything aside, and miss out on social events why should I feel discouraged or have a fear of missing out? I grew up in this country as a second-generation Indian and have a foundation he did not have and opportunities he never had” I kept moving. I had the support of my team to keep our eyes fixated on the goal. Some of them were (in no particular order) Ruchir, Becky, Branden, Schain, Mike, and Neeraj. Odds were always stacked against us. The odds are still stacked against us as we are a small company. But when you have a group of incredibly talented human beings with unwavering grit, passionate about serving others, for some reason, I believe, the odds will start shifting in our favor.
