For 18-year-old Claire Cordua, having a stroke was the furthest thing from her mind. All that changed in July 2009, when Claire suffered a massive stroke. Her life was saved twice that day once by her quick-thinking boyfriend and, then again, by a new physician who had yet to officially start work at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

  • 18 year old suffering a stroke?Sounds so incongruous!:((( When my dad got his second heart attack,there was a 19-year-old guy in the other bed(in hospital) with his first heart attack......I was in total shock,he was not fat,he was a soccer-player,was muscular,looked so healthy...what a shame that young people have to withstand such abominations!

  • This was a lovely story of a medical system doing a wonderful job, I wished that had been the same here in langley bc. Good on your recovery and your beautiful attitude!

  • SUPER APPARAT
