We welcome another fantastic returning guest in the form of Dr Paul Sellors, consultant in stroke medicine at North Bristol Hospital NHS Trust. Sam and Paul discuss tricky cases in Stroke medicine including stroke mimics, the modified Rankin score, the NIHSS, thrombolysis and thrombectomy! Plenty to unpack in this episode so sit back and enjoy!
