I didn't know anything
Rating  (5)

until I read this excellent book, I was lost and confused. This book covered everything I wanted to know about strokes. It was written clearly and plainly. Medical terms that were often used were explained simply. Though most of the information seems to be up to date, I wish there would be a newer edition available.

Good info, but written with a lot of technical jargon.

I had no previous experience with strokes. This book has a lot of info, but not as well written for a non-medical person as some of the other books available. Although the technical terms are accurate, I felt like I was back in college wading through professional jargon to get a grade, rather than simply finding answers to my questions.
