Did you know that not every hospital is able to treat a stroke patient?  The first 2 hospitals I was taken to were not certified stroke centers.  I’m kind of angry about this.  Any hospital should be able to diagnose a stroke but once diagnosed, not every hospital is equipped to treat it.    Here’s the thing, if you have even the slightest, smallest, tiniest inkling that something is happening in the brain, don’t just go to any hospital, go to one of these hospitals.  Every second that you’re not getting treatment equates to more brain damage.  Stroke Centers
