Mobile van offers stroke care on the go - Cleveland Clinic

Even the vaunted Cleveland Clinic can't seem to read news about stroke. This is going to be an expensive short term test.  Do they not know that the Qualcomm Xprize for the tricorder has selected 10 finalists? How long before this comes to fruition and makes the expensive and time-consuming MRI and CT scans obsolete? We also shouldn't need neurologists on call to interpret those scans.
But do you really think your hospital will recommend this when it goes to production? It's a neurologist job killer and I doubt the stroke department head will recommend reducing head count unless you call the hospital president and make the case.
