401. Survive Stroke Week 2026: How Fast Treatment Changes Everything | Dr Guilherme Dabus

If someone near you suddenly can't lift their arm, their speech becomes slurred, or they lose their balance — what do you do? In this episode, Bill Gasiamis sits down with Dr. Guilherme Dabus, President of the Society of Neuro-Interventional Surgery (SNIS), ahead of Survive Stroke Week 2026 (May 3–9). Dr. Dabus pulls back the curtain on what actually happens during a stroke — inside the brain, inside the operating room, and inside the hearts of the clinicians fighting for every second. Topics covered in this episode: *What a thrombectomy is and how it can restore brain function in minutes *The B-FAST acronym: the fastest way to recognise stroke signs *Why your brain loses 2 million cells every minute during a stroke *Why calling 911 — not driving to the nearest hospital — can be the difference between recovery and permanent disability *Why young people are experiencing strokes at growing rates *How stroke rehabilitation is a mindset, not just a treatment phase Whether you're a stroke survivor, a caregiver, or someone who just wants to be prepared — this episode could save a life.
