My friend had a stroke and recovered well. 9 months later she had a seizure like episode. The doctor said that it could NOT have been a seizure because she remembered everything as it was happening. 4 months later the at same hospital she was taken in for exact same thing. A different neurologist diagnosed it as seizure from damage from the stroke in less than five minute. She received a cat scan upon arrival. Further scans confirmed his diagnosis. Just before she left hospital I hesitantly said to the neurologist “if you had seen her 4 months earlier, when she was here, she would have been on medicine and this would have never happened” I expected a look that would have answered my question and a polite we don’t know. Instead I got a confident answer that “your right”. How could she have walked out of the hospital without being put on seizure medication the first time? The worst part is she was given TPA when she got there. Which carries up to an 8 percent chance of complications. Any input will be greatly appreciated. She is doing well by the way.
