Laura Anna Was Battling Spinal Cord Injury Before She Died, Dr Tirta: She Was A True Hero For Me

JAKARTA - Selebgram Laura Anna passed away on Wednesday, December 15 at 09.22 a.m. after battling a spinal cord injury. The owner's full name is Edelenyi Laura Anna, who was paralyzed by a car accident in December 2019 with her ex-lover, Gaga Muhammad.

Spinal cord injury or spinal cord injury experienced by Laura Anna can indeed trigger permanent nerve damage. This is why Laura Anna spends most of her time lying in bed and relying on a wheelchair for light activities because of her inability to walk.

The situation experienced by Laura Anna received sympathy from various parties, including Dr. Tirta Mandira Hudhi or better known as Dr. Tirta. As a medical professional, Dr. Tirta understands how hard it is to fight as a spinal cord injury patient.

“The struggle of spinal cord injury patients is tough. As a doctor I know if patients experience this. In college, they teach themselves about spinal injuries due to spinal fractures," wrote Dr. Tirta, quoted from his blue tick Instagram page, @dr.tirta, Thursday, December 16.

“But @edlnlaura was able to fight and spread positive energy around her. All of the videos contain motivation, many of which give encouragement to patients, even someone who is not sick becomes enthusiastic after seeing his sharing. I'm not too close, I don't even meet, I only greet via social media, but the effect of sharing the late reaches the patients who share it with me. A true hero for me," continued Dr. Tirta.

“Inspiration for all of us and of course for myself. The late struggle to seek justice is also extraordinary. Until yesterday the late story was still active. God loves Laura more. So now I don't feel pain anymore. Let's pray for, and remember, the spinal cord injury warrior! Rest in love @edlnlaura," concluded the doctor who is also nicknamed Cipeng.

Citing the official Alodokter website, spinal cord injury causes damage to nerves located in the spinal canal. The spinal cord is a nerve ending from the brain that runs from the neck to the tailbone. This nerve is responsible for sending signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. If this nerve is damaged, it can cause body function disorders such as loss of ability to move as experienced by Laura Anna to difficulty feeling things.

Spinal cord injury must be treated immediately. Otherwise, the patient may experience delays in the recovery period. In addition, a variety of health complications can also be suffered by patients if the disease is slow to receive treatment.
