    Thank you so much!! I was able to share this. I wish more people knew about this. It may have prevented my disability.

    Why can’t this drug be flowed on ambulances-??? And- why can’t people already have it in stock at their home, IF they have previously had a stroke before-??? 🤔☹️👍✌️

    I had a stroke but I didn’t  make it to the hospital in time to get the shot. Here I am 25 years later still disabled. All because the ambulance drivers which are 10 minutes away from my house got lost getting to me it took them 1.5 hours to get to me.

    Why going for the expensive treatment when Dr.Hopkins is there to help you get rid of that incurable disease. I got link: on CNN from an article made by Alexander Millin, How he got cured from minor stroke. Through herbal remedy, from Dr.hopkins he also dropped the contact address:

    dr.hopkinsherbalcure00@gmail.com to reach Dr. Hopkins, if anyone need his help to cure any type of disease or viral infection. Do contact him,, I thank God I did, I literally could not stop crying tears of joy after I was tested negetive, because I have really suffered a lot looking for cure. Thank you Dr. for all the incredible work you’re doing, You’ve saved my life…

    i have cramps on my face and both my hands. But, I can lift my hands, it just feels like a small paralysis or numbness on both side of my faces and also both my hands, not my arms. Stroke signs?

    I had a stroke and I’m 15. They took days to realize I had a Stroke. (The Hospitial) So I was screwed over with this "TPA" drug. >:( So now I have perms are damage because if there mistake of not know a 15 year old could have a stroke.

    His eyes are unequal. Should i call 911?

  11. Starship Driver on March 20, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    They should teach this in school, people shouldn’t learn firsthand when it’s happened right in front of them.

  12. Hailey Faith on March 20, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Paramedics cannot administer at this point as tPA requires radiology testing (which takes only minutes if they get to the hospital) to determine if a stroke is due to a clot (which you would treat with tPA) or a bleed or aneurysm. Becasue tPA is a "clot buster" you would not want to give it to someone with a bleed as it would increase bleeding. That is why it is so important people get to the hospital FAST!

    Good video. I had a stroke but I missed the shot because the ambulance got lost coming to my house it took them 1.5 hours to get there but they are only 10 minutes away if they didn’t get lost. I’ve been disabled for 25 years now because I didn’t get the drug.

  14. MOMS Mushrooms Jody Foster on March 20, 2021 at 10:41 pm

    Thank you very important info

  15. Richard McCullough on March 20, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Are parametics licensed to give the drug tPA? If not, why not? If time is of the essence, that would seem to be prudent, absent dangerous side effects for non-stroke suffers.

    I think my mother had a stroke she woke up in her floor and didn’t tell me till the next day and she has had a strange slurring voice despite having a 148 iq can hardly make out complete sentences which sounds like she’s chewing on her tongue: she thinks she is speaking perfectly fine and says “what can they do anyways”. She is 72 years old
