Thank you Dr. GWendel!
My father is a retired anesthesiologist and I have a BSN, (and teach music so
what good is that.....) and we have never heard of this test , but it
certainly makes sense, especially since he had absolutely no risk factors for
stroke that we were aware of.
We will check this out soon, and I will hold off on the ASA.
Thanks again,
Leslie
