Summary
During the first half of the twentieth century, most physicians obtained information about medical conditions and their diagnosis and management from textbooks. The great majority of stroke patients were cared for by primary care physicians and internists. No physicians specialized in stroke. Few neurologists were consulted. A review of some major popular internal medical and neurological textbooks yields a glimpse into knowledge about stroke and its cause at that time.
