Singapore — A woman collapsed after a bite of ice cream and is now in a vegetative state due to a cerebral haemorrhage.

While Sun survived the ordeal, the doctor said that a cerebral haemorrhage had occurred near her brain stem which made it difficult to operate on her. He added that Sun Hong would need to rely on her willpower in order to recover. Sun is currently relying on assisted ventilation and also needs an IV drip for nutrition in order to be kept alive. She is unable to speak and can only react to others by blinking her eyes. She is also constantly plagued with fevers.Ji mentioned that Sun had always been healthy and does not have any hereditary diseases.

However, the couple’s situation has been exacerbated by the hospital bills which have gone past $40,000 after a mere two weeks. While the hospital has offered a grace period for payment to the couple, it is not sustainable and possible in the long term.
