A member asked:
Can a person heal himself after a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are many factors involved, including size/degree of stroke, location in the brain, and age and overall health of the patient. Some patients recover completely, only time will tell. The process cannot be rushed.
