About
As the medical director of the stroke program at Mercy Health Hauenstein Neuroscience, Dr. Farooq works closely with the emergency department physicians, making sure patients arriving with stroke symptoms are quickly diagnosed and treated. If a CT scan shows a patient is having an ischemic stroke – the most common type in which a vessel in the brain is block by a blood clot – a drug promptly is administered to dissolve it and minimize damage.
"Having the emergency department in the same building as the neuroscience programs is very helpful. We can be there in a few minutes. This is the unique thing about Mercy Health Hauenstein Neurosciences: all of these specialists are in the same place.”
