Medscape Quiz: Do You Know the Complications, Proper Workup, and Best Treatment Practices for Ischemic Stroke?

This is a f*cking appalling quiz. Not one item in there even mentions treating the neuronal cascade of death. I got all but one correct. I don't give a shit if  'There is no clinical research for any neuroprotective treatment in the first week'.  Damn it all there are neurons dying by the boatload and your doctor is just sitting by letting you become more disabled by the minute. My 177 hyperacute therapies that need more research. Or  these 31 hyperacute possibilities I'm going to insist my doctor give me the first week. 
Charge your doctor/hospital $1 for every neuron they fail to save($950,000 a minute). I'm sure you can find some lawyer willing to take on the case.
It should be fairly easy to get an app for your iPad or iPhone that keeps a running total of dead neurons that can be shown every time your doctor does rounds.
