Contact a lawyer if this affected her health please. Any delays in receiving Stroke care can have injured her more I imagine. Any docs here?



ER worker here. It really depends on the details. If she was C-STAT positive with last known normal within three hours, you assume stroke, activate the stroke team, and everything moves very quickly. This is where every minute counts, because you can do clot busting to recover brain function.

The fact that she was discharged without an overnight admit suggests to me that the MRI did not show a stroke, or perhaps she was outside the treatment window when she went to the hospital.


What if it was a cerebral bleed?


I can't even begin to imagine the cost of proving the health effects and attempting to win the case.


Yes. Reading and learning.
