Would you know what to do if you were talking to a loved one and all of a sudden one side of their face began to droop?  They were trying to communicate with you but you couldn't understand their words.  It appeared that their arm strength was not the same on both sides.  Would you have recognized it as a stroke and that TIME was of the essence?

This week we will talk to a neruo ICU nurse who gives some insight into the world of recovery for patient's who have suffered a stroke.
