I appreciate your input. However, medical science in 2008 versus medical science now is like comparing Roman war practice to today's warfare. It's comparing spears to guided missiles. With the advancement of AHA practice, the NIH scale, and the newly implemented R.A.C.E. scale for identifying LVO strokes, it's actually pretty specific. But again, I see your point, and let me explain a necessary, yet potentially callous standpoint. This analysis is not intended at all for the patient suffering said stroke. They don't need to be convinced they're having a stroke. Most often, it is used to convince family members to let me do my job. All hospitals are not created equal, and I can't in good conscious let you "put her in the car and take her to the hospital I want to go to," when I know the hospital they want to go to is not store certified and we'll have an additional, unnecessary 2 hours minimum of ischaemia damage that could have been avoided if you'd have let me do the job you called me for. Specific numbers sound more convincing. Is it manipulative? Absolutely. Is it necessary? Absolutely more so.
