tPA

Woman w/ acute stroke.

Missed her window for tPA (4.5 hours), otherwise known as CLOT-BUSTER!

She is prime, though, for an embolectomy.

The neurologists were consulting w/ each other downstairs. It's like asking how many neurologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I'm fascinated w/ the neuro cases. Everything else seems less.... shiny.

Gotta turn in my application.
