Today is World Stroke Day, all it takes is a small clot to block a brain vessel:
1- Reduce your risk factors
2-Recognize stroke symptoms
3-Call 911
4-The fastest you get to the hospital the higher chance we can help you
5-Post stroke rehabilitation is key

If you’re excited about the original lineup of Blink 182 getting back together: please remember to stretch your lower back and hamstrings today. Your body isn’t what it used to be and that’s ok
They finished 4-years of undergrad, 4-years of medical school, endured 3-7 years of residency (some going on to get other degrees!), work 50-90 hrs a week...
