Thunderclap headaches: What they are and why they are dangerous

Having the worst headache of your life means it's time for immediate medical attention

Hemorrhagic strokes are less understood than the more common ischemic strokes

Misdiagnosis of an ischemic stroke often pushes patient outside a key treatment window

Doctor, physician's assistant, nurse practitioner, and registering nurse negligence contribute to tragic outcome

Neurologists are medical specialists who diagnose and treat brain, spinal cord, and nervous system conditions

Skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers don't achieve the same results

40,000–80,000 patients die each year in American hospitals because of misdiagnosis

New study recommends MRI scans for patients with short-duration stroke symptoms

Strokes at or around the time birth can cause brain damage or cerebral palsy

Study shows that hospitals participating in the “Get With the Guidelines” program are doing a better job in promptly treating ischemic strokes
