My uncle recently had an ischemic stroke, and it's a condition we're all trying to understand better. I'd like to pronounce the medical term accurately. How do you say 'ischemic stroke'?

It's 'i-skee-mik strohk'. This is a serious one. Please, if you ever feel any sudden weakness or numbness, or speech issues, don't wait. I regret ignoring small signs once. Rush to the hospital!

Achha, 'i-skee-mik strohk' bolte hain. Humare gaon mein toh log bas 'brain attack' bol dete hain. Aise bade-bade naam yaad rakhna mushkil hai, but accha hai pata chal gaya.
