159. You clearly demonstrate your COMPLETE IGNORANCE Of Current Medical Practice
CT w/o means A Catt Scan WITHOUT CONTRAST You see you are doing the CT scan to see if there is ANY BLEEDING in the skull which will show up quite clearly on the CT scan... So w/ ALL of your Neuro and ER experience I am surprised that you are unaware of such a fundamental diagnostic tool...
This fyi is the first order diagnostic exam in a stroke otherwise known as a CVA to determine embolic or hemorhagic stroke... For one you can use clot buster drugs to dissolve the clot and reverse the sequelae of the stroke by restoring blood flow to the affected area of the brain.
Now quick quiz.. For which type of stroke would you not want to use clot buster drugs?
