Why every mini-stroke must be treated as an emergency.
When nurse Sally Jarvis had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) she was advised to book an appointment with her GP the following week. Instead, she sought immediate treatment which may have prevented her from having a stroke. She argues that health professionals must spot the signs of TIA and treat it as an emergency.
