Administering clot-busting drugs within 90 minutes of mild stroke boosts odds for recovery, experts say

Well, I have no idea how big my stroke was but I got tPA within 90 minutes. Since nothing else was done in the first week you can see how massive the dead area became due to the neuronal cascade of death.  Look at my baseball-sized dead area and yet the medical world refuses to consider that  early stroke treatment is still a failure even if tPA works.

People suffering mild to moderate ischemic strokes who get immediate medical treatment can greatly reduce their odds of disability, a new study suggests.

So I guess I was special and got the massive stroke.
