Stroke is one of the most important and
most feared conditions known to man. The threat of stroke is
important to all people. What could be more devastating than to lose
the ability to speak, move a limb, stand, talk, see, read, feel write
or even think? This book brings together ideas, events and advances –
the stories – before and during the 20th Century through the accounts
of global experts in the field, many of them having been first-hand
witnesses to progress. Focusing on selected stories of stroke, this
book offers a readable summary of the most dramatic and extensive
changes in knowledge about stroke and in caring for stroke patients.
Of interest to anyone interested in neurosciences and for physicians
caring for stroke patients, this book informs on moving forward, by
looking to how we got to where we are.
