...this point that TPA has proved so effective. If given within three hours of the stroke's onset, the clot buster can interrupt the brain's panicked reaction.

That year, one-eighth of my classmates were plunked into houses they did not mention on their rooming forms. My blocking group of eight did not put down a "Quad-buster" as one of our four choices; we chose the standard Lowell, Eliot, Kirkland and Winthrop.
