Minnesota launches effort to improve rural response to strokes

All these groups that think just rolling out the existing infrastructure is the way to go are missing the point.


They should be looking at why specialized stroke hospitals evolved, mainly because to diagnose a stroke between ischemic and haemorrhagic needed specialized machines and a neurologist to read the output. Going down that route is complete insanity. You need to find an easy way to objectively diagnose a stroke. That will be accomplished with the tricorder possibly thru one of these 17 ways.
The whole point should be to get away from primary stroke centers because normal emergency rooms should be able to handle at least the ischemic strokes.
