First in a Series of Stroke Awareness Videos from Pawpro

Stroke is the #1 cause of long term disability in the U.S. and #3 cause of death. Often it is a silent killer whose signs and symptoms go unnoticed until it’s too late.

I know this all too well. My mother suffered two strokes as a result of Arteriovenus Malformations (a.k.a. AVMs) which caused ruptures in her brain. Luckily she survived and leads a normal life, but the second stroke could have been prevented had we known about advances in treatment.

Dr. Eric Eskioglu is the neurosurgeon who saved my mother’s life. Please watch and share this video with everyone you know and love, so that they may know the warning signs. Bleeding and blockage strokes have very different symptoms.
