Act FAST After a Stroke
Aired October 27, 2022.
It is important to head to the emergency room as soon as you or a loved one notices symptoms of a stroke.
Modern medicine can do a lot to help mitigate the damage caused by a health crisis. Perhaps this can best be illustrated by the recovery being experienced by patients who have suffered a stroke. Many have gone on to return to their normal lives, or moved beyond their normal life to accomplish amazing things. The key, however, is to get the care you need quickly. Dr. David Searls explains.
