Diagnosis and Advanced Treatment of Stroke with Pooia Fattahi, M.D.

Medically Speaking

Pooia Fattahi, M.D., a board-certified neurologist with Waterbury Neurology and Section Chief of Neurology at Saint Mary’s Hospital, joins us as a special guest on "Medically Speaking" to talk about the diagnosis and advanced treatment of stroke. May is Stroke Awareness Month - do you know the signs and symptoms of stroke? You could help save a life just by being able to recognize those signs and remembering to call 9-1-1! Dr. Fattahi talks with program host Robin Sills, RN, Physician Liaison, about Saint Mary's advanced certification by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center and what that means to patients and the community, as well as the use of telemedicine to diagnose stroke patients, treatments including tPA, rehabilitation and treatment of post-stroke symptoms.
