Gail is a 57-year-old woman who was brought to the ED with right-sided weakness, blurred vision, and difficulty speaking. She told the ED registration clerk, "I think I'm having a stroke."

The patient has a past medical history of hypertension and is a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. She was immediately rushed to a treatment room, and from there, she had an immediate CT of the brain. The CT showed cerebral infarction, due to thrombus of the right middle cerebral artery. Because the patient so quickly realized she was having a stroke, she presented to the ED within 90 minutes of the onset of symptoms. She met all the criteria for t-PA thrombolysis therapy. The thrombolysis was initiated within 30 minutes of arriving at the ED. Within several hours, all symptoms of the stroke were alleviated. The patient was being kept overnight for observation.
