Answer:

embolism

Explanation:

Cerebral embolism is a type of stroke that occurs when a floating blood clot clogs one of the arteries in the brain and can lead to death or serious sequelae such as speech difficulties, blindness or paralysis.

This problem is more common in the elderly or people with high blood pressure or atherosclerosis, for example, but it can also happen in young people, and the risk may be increased in women taking regular birth control pills.

Embolism is curable, especially when treatment is started within 45 minutes of the onset of symptoms, but the risk of sequelae depends on the affected region and clot size.

How does the role of a medical specialist today compare to the
Elza [17]

Answer:

To simplify greatly, we have gone from care to cure.

Cure: Doctors can now cure many things that they could not cure before. New cures and treatments continue to be discovered and used; specialists get more and more specialized and expert. Lewis Thomas (born 1913) wrote somewhere that when he was in medical school they were big on diagnosis because there were four things they could cure and they didn’t want to miss any of them.

Care: Of course many many doctors care a lot about their patients. But the system we have in place now makes it much harder for them to show this. Partly, this is a direct result of the increased expertise - it is completely impossible for anyone to be expert in all fields of medicine. But it’s also due to the fact that internists/GPs are now incredibly pressed for time. They also fear lawsuits. And the notion that you have one doctor - usually for many years or even decades - is gone because you have to go to one that takes your insurance and that changes when you change jobs. House calls are impossible because of both the increase in equipment and the time pressure.
