A Stroke is a sudden clot in an artery or vessel that cuts off blood flow to the brain. It was originally known as an "Apoplexy". Apoplexy is a Greek word meaning "Struck Down". Due to the sometimes sudden onset of a stroke it looks as though someone has been struck down. For centuries it has been called a Stroke because it looks like someone has been struck by God. That is the truth...
