STROKE RECOGNITION: Would Your Family Make These Common Errors? OVER HALF DO - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

We now have a "clot-buster" drug, TPA (Tissue Plasminogen Activator) which makes it possible to greatly mitigate the disasters of many strokes. But first, we have to recognize the stroke. Fewer than 40% of Americans recognize some of the more common early signs of stroke, like confusion & inability to talk. This video shows the story of Alma, who recognized confusion and inability to talk with her husband as a stroke. He's talking now and back to normal.
