Accident and long-term illness

Initial accident and coma Around 2:00 AM on September 27, 2006, while riding a 50cc scooter alone in Taoyuan, Selikoff lost control and crashed into a median strip, suffering severe brain trauma. However, the language area of his brain was damaged, and he developed complications such as pneumonia and gastritis from being bedridden, beginning a long road to recovery. She once stated, "I always feel that to love someone is to have no regrets, willingly and gladly. Although it's hard, I am willing, because he is my husband, the man I deeply love, and the father of my children." Because Selikoff only had National Health Insurance and no life insurance, and had never applied for permanent residency, the substantial medical and care costs placed the family in financial hardship.
