The human brain is very plastic and capable of recovery, but at the same time fragile and sensitive to many factors. A stroke is a disease that can happen suddenly to anyone at work, at home, or on the street. And his life and the ability not to remain disabled often depend on the competent actions of those around him. Even if a person realizes that he has a problem, due to speech impairment and weakness in the limbs, he will not be able to tell anyone about it, much less call an ambulance on his own. The authors of the book are doctors who daily deal with a formidable enemy of the brain - stroke. Summarizing their shared experience, they talk about stroke, resorting to unusual associations, interesting facts, and memorable incidents. The book is useful for a wide range of readers and novice physicians. This is a guide to action, thanks to which you can not only preserve the health of yourself and your loved ones, but also save lives!
