Strokecast

This situation the world is facing with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) is unlike anything we’ve seen for a 100 years. In just a few months, it has put the entire world economy on pause as hundreds of thousands of people test positive for this deadly disease. What does this mean for stroke survivors? Are we at higher risk? Neuro-Physiatrist Dr. Kim Middleton joins us to answer that question and more in this episode of Strokecast. Bio Dr. Kimberly Middleton completed medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine before doing her residency at the University of Washington. She is a member of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPMR). Dr. Middleton was one of the doctors who cared for me during the month I lived at the hospital following my stroke. I continue to see her on a regular basis for my Botox/Dysport injections to treat my tone and spasticity. You can learn more about Dr. Middleton’s background here: https://www.swedish.org/swedish-ph
