Lead Singer of the band Poison Bret Michaels is back in the hospital after suffering a "warning stroke" just weeks after a near-fatal brain hemorrhage.
"A message was posted on Bret Michaels' website saying that he "was readmitted to the hospital this week after suffering numbness on the left side of his body, predominantly his face and hands, which doctors described as a transient ischemic attack, or warning stroke."
Doctor's tests and findings showed that Bret has a hole in his heart, a condition known as patent forum ovale. His neurosurgeon, Joseph Zabramski, commented saying that Bret’s condition was, "devastating to him and his family." But Zabramski was glad that Bret "quickly reacted to the severe numbness and got to the hospital immediately."
"The good news is that it is operable and treatable, and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the transient ischemic attack," Zabramski says. "However, we feel it is highly unlikely this is connected to the brain hemorrhage he suffered a few weeks earlier."
