not developed a good method of pre-
vention or cure of hardening of the
arteries, but a great deal of research
is going on in this field. Since, as we
have pointed out, most strokes are re-
lated in some way to hardening of the
arteries, this research may some day
help solve the stroke problem. 1t is
also true that once an area of brain
tissue has been seriously damaged, the
damage is permanent, and there is no
drug which can make new brain cells
grow to replace the injured ones, and
no operation which can place new brain
cells in the brain to take over the job
of the damaged ones. These are serious
considerations, because they mean that
at the present time, the patient who
suffers stroke is going to be left with
some permanent damage, however
small, to an area in the most vital
organ, the brain.
knowledge of the facts which I have
just mentioned has, in the past, given
both doctors and patients pesSimistic,
hopeless, attitude toward the stroke
patient who has often been kept alive
with no encouragement, and serious
physical handicap, burden to all who
have to help take care of him. Nova
days the medical profession is taking
another look at these patients, and
evaluating them in the light of what
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-09-15

they can do rather than in the light of
what they cannot do. Even elderly
patients can ofttimes be rehabilitated
to surprising degree The idea that
a person with a stroke has to be kept
in bed for many weeks has given way
to a sentiment in favor of starting to
get such patients up, or at least moving
around in bed, nearly as soon as they
regain consciousness.
Unnecessary Worry
Of course, not all people who suffer
strokes end up with serious and obvious
disabilities. A great many of such
people have only little disturbance
of memory, or trouble concentrating,
or minor degree of weakness or
paralysis in fingers or hands, which
may be manifest only by slight clumsi-
ness in using the limb. These folks
should also be encouraged to seek medi-
cal attention. Frequently, they notice
their slight disabilities and undergo
a great deal of unnecessary worry and
embarrassment because of them. The
doctor may be able to help them ad-
just to their new capabilities and may
also help by relieving them of some
of their worry, and by assisting them
in attaining better general physical
condition.
This, then, is the new look toward one
of mans most perplexing problems.
1 should like to emphasize that no
miracle cure, or even miracle preven-
tative, has been developed for stroke.
1t is probable that the individual who
adjusts his life beyond the middle years
so that he can remain happy, contented,
and useful and at the same time not
exceed his physical capacity, has
much better chance of avoiding stroke
as age advances. Good physical health
and correction of minor disabilities as
they arise is also important. But in the
event that stroke does occur the
attitude by the patient, his relatives,
and his doctor should be one of en-
enlargement, of optimism and of pa
tience. Every effort should be made to
encourage the use of unchanged mus
cles, and toward devising ways and
means of enabling the patient to use his
remaining capabilities to the fullest
extent. The rewards of such an atti-
tude can be most gratifying, and since
the alternative is so dismal, there is
certainly no reason for not giving it
