Every two seconds, someone in the world has a stroke. One out of every six people will have a stroke at some point in their lives. Strokes deprive brain cells of oxygen and are one of the most common causes of death, and a leading cause of preventable disability. But what causes strokes in the first place? And what can doctors do to treat them? Vaibhav Goswami takes us into the body to find out.

    Please never forget THEIR HEAD CAN HURT and ONE OF THEIR EYES CAN’T SEE. My mom had a stroke a few months ago and these were two of the symptoms she had.

    My grandmother had an ischaemic stroke a few weeks ago and died. It was her second one(the first one was 5 years ago). My grandfather is now devastated and so is the whole family.

    Why do they use the catheter all the way from the legs? Wouldn’t it be easier from the neck or something?

    Ive had these symtopms for 2 years now. Is it possible that it was because of a stroke ?

  22. seavey on August 29, 2019 at 9:29 pm

    My mom got stroked, at that time I was the only one who was able to witness everything that had happened. I didn’t know what to do because I was just in 5th grade. After that, she had short-term memory, she didn’t get out of the house, she didn’t took care of us anymore as if she didn’t know who we were. It was heartbreaking. I wish it never happened, I loved her so much and she was the best mom ever

  23. Jotaro Kujo tbh on August 29, 2019 at 9:34 pm

    Mom: Smile honey

    Me: -_-

    Mom: Oh my god, get him to a hospital

  24. Ruby Karen Nepomuceno on August 29, 2019 at 9:35 pm

    Too bad in the Philippines especially in my town. No paramedics, the ambulance doesn’t have any apparatus. There are two Hospitals, but Doctors are rare to be seen, so most of the patients gets tansferred in another town which is 1 hour away. And the hospitals in the nearby town sometimes ask to transfer to a bigger and much advanced hospital because they cannot attend to a patient with a certain condition. 🤦‍♀️

    I work in EMS and see stuff like this often. It’s scary to me how one moment you can be fine and the next you can be having a stroke or stemi. I feel for my patients and always do my best for them but I know sometimes these sudden and random occurrences can change their lives permanently or kill them.
