Tampa General nurse negligent in stroke case, jury finds, awards patient $70.8M

 Proof you are required to have the classic symptoms; drooping face, one sided inability to move, speech problems, so your medical 'professionals can actually identify it as a stroke!

Tampa General nurse negligent in stroke case, jury finds, awards patient $70.8M

A Florida jury awarded nearly $71 million to a single mother whose stroke was allegedly missed by a free-standing emergency department. Chiaka Stewart said she had the worst headache of her life, and had recently gone back on birth control -- a risk factor for stroke -- but wasn't given a CT scan and eventually discharged, only to have a stroke 2 days later.
