What Started as a Headache Was Actually a Stroke

Once again proving that we need a totally objective diagnosis of stroke. And I dislike the focus on the headache, headaches do not always precede stroke.
Maybe when we get actual objective diagnosis when these come online:
1. Star Trek-style 'tricorder' invention offered $10m prize
2. Strokefinder quickly differentiates bleeding strokes from clot-induced strokes
3.  One of these 17 ways still need to be be proven for fast and objective diagnosis.

Too shaken up to drive, she called her husband, Bill, to come get her and take her back to their Gambrills, MD home. But when Bill arrived, he insisted they go to a hospital emergency room right away.

A CT scan revealed a spot on Amy’s brain, but the diagnosis was unclear. After recommending she see a neurologist in the next few weeks, the doctor released her.

Contact that hospital to see if they started researching objective diagnosis of strokes. Or are they waiting for someone else to actually do the work?  This was a complete failure on the part of the ER team. What are they doing to fix that problem?
