By analyzing real-life stroke cases, she highlighted critical aspects such as timely recognition, coordinated acute response, multidisciplinary care, and challenges commonly encountered in both acute and rehabilitative settings.
The session moved beyond textbook theory by presenting practical scenarios and best practices drawn from real clinical cases. Students were encouraged to think critically about decision-making in stroke care, patient communication, and long-term rehabilitation strategies. The lecture also addressed gaps in existing systems and proposed potential improvements, thus fostering a problem-solving mindset among students.
