Within two days of entertaining lectures from Dr. Bhupendra Shah, Dr. Nishant Mishra, Dr. Alok Dahal and Dr. Christine Tunkl we learnt together, that there are so many (!) things in stroke care, that we can influence! We could all improve our skills in CT reading, NIHSS examination and decision making on thrombolysis or neurosurgical interventions. And we developed protocols for the hyperacute stroke care, acute brain imaging and when to do thrombolysis and even thrombectomy.
Our new stroke team leader, Dr Bhupendra, highlighted that even if the patients come “too late”, their outcome is in our hands, as we’ll be the ones preventing them from complications and recurrent stroke.
