"Just a thought…..circa 630,000 babies born each year in UK and circa 3.6 MILLION in US alone.
That’s a lot of tests worth a lot of money and then our stroke test. Circa 100,000 strokes each year in UK and circa 800,000 in US."
The birth figures are a bit misleading. The difference being not every baby needs to take the test, only those that are ill.
Whereas the stroke test could potentially be used for all those who present with stroke symptoms or are to be given stroke medication as an emergency preventive action.
