Agreed.  Mentioned this to Peggy (retired nurse with background in
every aspect of nursing but OR).  She agrees too.

Yes, cardiac ischemic events similar.  And the occasional anecdote of
someone completely paralyzed by a stroke who miraculously got up and
walked away fully recovered a few hours later is no excuse -- can't be
relied upon to be *your* story.  (That happened to a local
blacksmith.)

Best wishes for your GF.
