Can you go into a coma after a stroke?


okay. so im writing a novel where a character is going to die. im thinking its going to be an aneurysm that bursts, then he has a seizure, then a stroke, then coma, then dies.

is that even possible? and if so, then how long would it all take aprroximately? how fast could he pass once in a coma?

yes.because ur body cant move u cant even blink that was one reason my great granpa died on saturday.but it all depends u know.

Yes, I spent a New Year's evening as a new med student, well fresh out> I volunteered for it as I had no family and everyone else.
I spent the night watching a guy with a headache progress to ICU, then watching him die from a brain aneurysm.
It shook us all up.
A guy with a headache on coumadin (blood thinner) with a mechanical aortic valve. The problem is it makes them bleeders.
Brain swelled with volume. Cuts off the circulation to the back of the skull. * research that* and he died. I watched as every nerve by neurologist failed and asked me to make it quick with examining him.
I have seen first hand how normal went to stroke and coma many times.
Not in your specific order but....
Erase the seizure, that would come after the stroke but more likely not noticed.
How fast? I ducked the call call b/c it was NYE and hospital nurses are retarded and forget to call in orders then lie and say it is a stat and call me back in. This time, I came back in 10 minutes, by minute 15 he was transferring to the ICU, by minute 30 he was pronounced dead. That fast.

The rest of the night was spent in discussion and shock and awe came to mind as we all were shocked at the speed. Really shook the cardiologist up that night, so much I was worried about him. He responded with very poor professional distance

The aneurysm alone will kill him. Seizure would inevitably ensue, then death within minutes (due to the head filling up with blood and compressing the brain). If he had a stroke at the same time, i can't think of anyone being so horribly unlucky lol.
