What happens during a stroke?

Introduction
Experiencing a stroke is just the beginning of a profound journey—and knowing what comes next can empower you and your loved ones to take charge of recovery. In this article, we guide you through the essential first steps after a stroke—from in-hospital care and rehabilitation to outpatient therapy and long-term follow-up with your healthcare team. We’ll clarify the roles of each specialist involved and highlight what you can expect during every phase of your healing process. Understanding these stages can help you feel prepared, supported, and confident as you navigate life after stroke.

Explaining what happens during a stroke can be challenging.

This informational video hosted in TED ED and accessible through YouTube, educates in a simple and direct manner the causes, signs, and symptoms of strokes. Leveraging medical knowledge to all audiences and using the Ted Ed animations platform, Dr. Goswani developed this fantastic tool to share among our families and extended community. Thanks Dr. Goswani for sharing your work and saving lives through education.
