Two years after being injured in a road rage shooting incident, which left an Indian-origin man paralyzed, Kishan Patel returned to his New Jersey home from a specialized facility in Texas earlier this month. His family spent more than $1 million to transform the New Jersey home into a place where Patel gets all the medical facilities, as he can't walk and can't take care of himself. He suffered cardiac arrest during the shooting, which resulted in a brain injury and a broken vertebra.
"We just want to make Kishan comfortable. You know, take that hospital environment away from him," 32-year-old Kishan's mother Manjina Patel said as the family addressed the media when Kishan returned home on April 9. Kishan now does not need a ventilator to breathe.
