Chris and Mark talk about strokes! They cover everything from bleeds to blockage and how to fix it all. An important message about how to recognize a stroke is also delivered. Chris annoyingly flaunts finally being right about something, while our listeners pointed out that we were both wrong about two things: 1) Mark meant to say Billy Squire instead of Billy Idol. 2) Mark mistakenly stated Kussmauls instead of Cheyne-Stokes respiration with Cushings Triad. Chris then celebrated Mark's usage of big words.
