Peter was admitted late on Friday night to the acute stroke unit from A&E. On the stroke unit he was reviewed by the stroke consultant and nursing staff and was found to have only a mild weakness in his arm.
Following his CT scan Peter is told that he has had a stroke affecting the frontal areas of his brain.
Peter’s overnight medical observations were unremarkable.
It is now Sunday morning and Peter’s wife Sadie has called the ward to ask how Peter is doing. The nurse tells her that Peter is doing very well. She says that this morning he got up, got washed and dressed himself without assistance. She tells Sadie that Peter’s tests have been completed, that his symptoms have all resolved and that the ward are happy for him to go home today.
