* You're
Worried About Stroke -- Who Do You Call? The closest emergency department --
not your family doctor's office -- is the place to call if you're
having symptoms of stroke, according to recent study results presented at
the 25th international conference of the American Stroke Association in New
Orleans. The researchers report that almost one third of patients seen in a
doctor's office were not given any treatment aimed at preventing
or eliminating worse strokes in the future. Another study reports that
time is crucial for stroke victims. Don't delay seeking treatment! For
