The Stroke Doc

A sudden stroke is like a brush fire in the brain, burning over a million neurons per minute. For the victim, every passing second without intervention means more debilitating neurological damage. Or even death. THE STROKE DOC is the story of Dr. Mike Tymianski, who thinks he has discovered the holy grail of stroke drugs, and his 8-year long high-stakes medical drama that takes place in the back of an ambulance, in hospitals and emergency wards around the world. Here, success is measured on an MRI read in the middle of the night, and failure would spell the loss of decades of research and millions of dollars. Is this drug just another in a long line of failed stroke drugs? Or is Dr. Tymianski on the cusp of an enormous medical innovation?
