Notice that this CME has NOTHING on stroke rehab. So your tyranny of low expectations will stay the same even with new medical students. Your children and grandchildren will be screwed when they have a stroke. Everyone in stroke needs to be fired for extreme 'not my job' behavior.
Ask the consultant: Stroke
In our series for internal medicine trainees,
consultant stroke physician Dr Don Sims answers trainees’ questions on
topics
including initiating anticoagulation
following an ischaemic stroke, mechanical thrombectomy, anticoagulation
in patients with
atrial fibrillation, selecting appropriate
imaging, and distinguishing stroke from a transient ischaemic attack
(TIA) in the
first few hours.

- Investigating patients to determine the exact aetiology of their stroke
- Screening people with ischaemic stroke for atrial fibrillation and when and how to start anticoagulation in patients with a positive diagnosis
