A close family member owes their stroke response team her life or at least half her brain. As a doctor myself, I'm impressed and forever grateful that she went from collapsing at home to having brain CT and diagnosis of major clot in the brain to having the clot removed all in less than two hours including ambulance time. From unresponsive and half-paralyzed to fully talking by the end of the procedure. Not everyone can get that amazing outcome, there are many factors including luck, but if she had gone somewhere less prepared for this scenario the results would have been devastating and lifelong.

I've read good and bad reviews below. Unfortunately many with bad outcomes will blame the hospital, rightly or wrongly. But I recognize exceptional quality care in this particular case that made ALL the difference.
