Ischemic Stroke Research Paper
There are two different types of strokes that a person could have. They are ischemic and hemorrhagic; ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel is blocked from a clot and hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts which results in it bleeding into the brain. If I had a choice about what type of stroke I would want to have I would go with the ischemic stroke. The reason why I would go with the ischemic stroke is because there is a drug called tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), which breaks the clots down and allows the blood vessel to go back to a normal blood flow. The ischemic stroke is also the most common and least severe stroke. I would have a higher chance of being able to live my life normally with it. If I had a choice

I love to draw and read so the occipital lobe would not be one that I would want to damage. I am a musician so if I damaged my temporal lobe I would lose my ability to hear very well. The frontal lobe did not seem reasonable for me to damage because I would lose my ability to remember things and plan stuff. Having my parietal lobe damaged in the left hemisphere I would lose the ability to problem solve and have some of my senses as well as the ability to control the right side of my body. Since I am right handed I use the right side of my body more dominantly, with the stroke damaging my left hemisphere I would have to learn how to use the left side of my body. Activities that I would normally do easily will become harder because I would need to train my left hand to do it. I would also have to learn how to handle not having all my senses, although I do enjoy the ability to feel something when I touch it and to taste food I felt that I would be able to live if I did not have those abilities. I would have to use my imagination about what it was like which is why I did not want to damage my creative side. Since I will have a lack of ability to understand language, mathematical problems and think logically I will have to use my more abstract mind frame to determine how to solve a
