How Should CVA With Body Numbness And Blood Circulation Loss Be Treated?
Good Morning, I have a person who carries a cardiac history and complained of numbness on the left side of his body. I rushed him to the nearest hospital where he was diagnosed for his pulse rate, reflexes, vision, ECG... and was declared normal. Additionally, the On-duty doctor in the emergency ward suspected a CerebraVascular Accident, causing loss of blood circulation. Question: I need more information on CVA and what next steps do you recommend
