Wondered whether a stroke support group would be useful for other people in his community. Felt it would be better, and less medical, than more time in rehabilitation.

 



Have you had any experience of support groups for stroke at all?

I begin to think that a support group would be very helpful, especially for Asians, it should be a helpful. We could exchange, we could talk about it, what is happening. 

But I definitely wish to see that stroke support group should be there. That would be better than spending more time in rehab because in rehab, psychologically, you are still in an environment which is technically surrounded with machines, with white collared doctors with stethoscopes which psychologically affect you, you are a sick man.
