You can't give a clot-busting drug to someone having a stroke, because, if they are having a 'bleed; the drugs will make things far, far, worse. In fact, you will almost certainly kill them. And, by the time you have managed to get a brain scan done, it is usually too late to give any drug at all, because the damage will already have been done. Moving on from that cheery subject. Apart from the heart and the...
