How old are you? I'm 46, never even heard of pediatric stroke until a month ago at best? And....
My mom is retired nurse, my sister is a pharmacist, my mom's best friend was Chief of Staff at one of the local hospitals for 22 years, I have 2 cousins who are nurses - one, specifically, emergency pediatric care. My wife's aunt is currently the "lead nurse" under the Chief of Staff. My ex's mom is Chief Lab Tech. We bowl in a league that is all Regional Hospital Staff. Personally know / friends with over 30 doctors and nurses. That is because the 2 hospitals here employ almost 40% of my city.
My mom has 4 brothers, 5 sisters, ALL but 1 had 3 kids. ALL their kids have at least 2 kids now as well. That's a whole lot of medical history / current events, and a whole lot of kids I have had direct access to over my 46 years of life.
Never, ever heard of pediatric stroke.
Specifically, the number of kids - 15 and under - who you've known throughout your entire life to date, that have had a stroke?
Nobody is saying kids don't have strokes. It's the point of : are there REALLY that many kids on a regular basis that are having strokes that we NOW need to be made aware of it more than before?
Honestly, were you REALLY aware there is Pediatric Stroke Month until a few weeks ago?
