Description
Stroke is the fourth volume in the ",What Do I Do Now?", series and provides the clinician with the necessary tools to evaluate and treat the stroke patient. Strokes are unique since rapid evaluation and treatment responses are needed in order to prevent irreversible loss of brain function. Ideally, physicians should read the cases, placing themselves in the position of the treating physician and think how they would evaluate and manage such patients. Then they should read the comments of the stroke specialist, comparing and contrasting their own approach with that of the authors. Digesting these case presentations is an effective way to up-grade competence in stroke patient management.
