Stroke Heroes and Their Pets

I have two cats. Buddy is a large tabby tom cat that I found in a snow bank when he was a kitten. He was very young, weak, thin, and had frostbite on the tip of his ear and part of a paw. I can only guess that a thoughtless owner of a litter of kittens tried to get rid of them. I only found one.  Lucy is a smaller tabby queen that I inherited... Read moreChevron

Remote Presence Technology in Hospital ERs

I've mentioned my misdiagnosed stroke back in 2001 before. But I believe hospitals have come a long way since then. Many facilities have stroke teams in place to quickly diagnose stroke.

Seizures are attributed to misfiring of neurotransmitters in the brain due to scars on the brain post-stroke.   Approximately 10 -15% of stroke survivors develop seizures post-stroke.
