Hello WAYNE!

05 Feb 10 21:28, you wrote to me:

 WC> MOST people do not go to hospitals for strokes.

No Wayne, MOST people, especially critical thinkers, _DO_ seek treatment for a
stroke.

What might be more accurate for you to say is that _MOST_ people do not do the
things or seek treatment to _prevent_ one.

 WC> In the case of an acquaintance his family forced him to go to a

 WC> Net results?
 WC> Ziltch.

It depends on how long one waits, assuming they realized it was a stroke, there
is a 2 to 4 hour window, assuming the stroke is a blockage, not a bleeder
(Aneurysm).

Even so, if one survives a stroke, a lifestyle change is needed in form or
diet, exercise and meds.

You didnt even go to a clinic.

 WC> He's still messed up and still lacks the use of an arm.

He waited too long.

My father has no real use of his arm, he waited too long, my brother who found
him on the floor next to his bed, failed to recognize the stroke signs, sagging
facial muscles, slurred speech. My father whom at the time had 2 artificial
hips, assumed he fell on the floor while getting out of bed due to one of his
hips having cramping issues. Instead he fell out of bed because he had no
sensory control in his left left. When I came onto the scene, I immediately saw
the signs and called 9-11, a bigger symptom was when I pinched the soft flesh
underneath my fathers left thigh and he asked me when I was going to start
pinching.

They were unable to reverse the damage that was done because of the delay in
getting help, but after physical therapy, exercise regimen implemented, diet
changed and meds, he is better off now than he was then. He can walk with a
cane and drive a car as well as mount a exercise bike.

Had he not done the above he would have had another stroke and likely be dead.
He lost his brother to a aneurysm 15 years prior to his own stroke.

 WC> He does however have a rather extensive list of medical bills and
 WC> debts resulting from said useless hospitalization.

 WC> I have no such bills or debts and recovered nicely thank you.

Assuming that you really had a stroke, you do not know if you recovered, once a
stroker always a stroker.

You are in the system Wayne, you can get medical treatment under Medicare or
whatever and if Ross Sauer whom draws far less "unearned" benefits than you,
can get a coronary bypass operation paid for, you can have a Doctor examine
you.

Instead I think you tell people you have this ailment and that ailment only to
curry sympathy.

It was real easy for you to say you had the swine flu.

 WC> This of course hits me particularly hard as I myself am maimed.

Via your own actions.
