Assuming you support it the first place. How is it ethical to only offer a service like this 9-5? If it is truly 'life saving' surely it irresponsible Press would have a field day.
Why can't ED initiate this 24/7.
Not criticism just curious.

Our local stroke network wishes to implement the findings of ECASS 3 to extend the thrombolysis window to 4.5 hours. What are colleagues doing locally? If thrombolysing strokes at all.
So far in four months on a 9-5 service we have managed to thrombolyse 2. Don’t think we are missing many eligible ones just in a rural population they seem to be arriving to late.
