Sincerely,
Carl Kuehn "I put off your stroke scanning service for several years as I have heart disease and I am under the continual care of a cardiologist. I already have 5 stents - I figured my cardiologist would be "on it" if I started experiencing plaque buildup in my carotid arteries. I was wrong! At the insistence of my wife, I did the Stroke Scan this year and the scan detected a moderate to severe blockage in my right carotid artery. I took the pictures you gave me to my cardiologist and he immediately contacted a vascular surgeon. Further tests confirmed a 95% blockage. Within 2 weeks, I successfully underwent surgery to remove the plaque.
I am very thankful that we had the scans done and that they detected the blockage. The surgeon remarked after the surgery that my artery was in very bad shape and it was close to becoming closed entirely. Neither my cardiologist nor the vascular surgeon could detect any blockage with a stethoscope, even after the blockage was confirmed. If we had not done the scans at our park, my life could have taken a serious turn down a terrible path.
Please {be} rest assured, I will urge all my friends and neighbors here at the park to participate in your Stroke Scan screening. Opportunity only knocks so many times. I feel like I was given the gift of a future."

Sincerely,
Bill Brosch "My name is David Brooks and I live in a small town in Missouri called French Village which is about 60 miles south of St. Louis. I spend the winter in Donna, Texas at Country Side RV park.
The middle of February Joey Wyatt and his staff came to our park to run a Stroke Scan-test for anyone that signed up for it. My wife and I decided to get the tests because these were tests that we had never had done. They did the scan on my carotid artery in my neck. I noticed that he took a lot more time with me than the others. When the test was done on us, Joey wanted to talk to us. The news was shocking, he told me that I had a large amount of blockage in the left carotid artery and moderate in the right side. This was very disturbing to me because I had no idea there was a problem. Joey said I needed more tests. So through VA and a lot of red tape with VA, I went to McAllen Medical Center for more tests. Attached to this letter is the results. On March 15th, 2011 my left carotid artery surgery was done. Plaque was built up so bad that the artery wall was so thinned out they had to put a patch over it. Two days in the hospital and then home. I am feeling better than I have in a long time. I didn't realize that I felt so bad until after I had the surgery. I had no real symptoms that there was a problem. I can't emphasize enough that I had no symptoms. This stroke scan that was given by Joey saved me from having a stroke and health problems. So please be smart and have this done."

Thank you and hope you listen
David E. Brooks "Dear Sirs,
In October 2006, while having scans performed by Stroke Scan in Portland at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, a blockage was found in my left carotid artery. I was given results immediately and informed that I should take those to my cardiologist. Dr. Ormand checked them and prescribed an angiogram to be done. The angiogram showed an 85% blockage in that artery. On November 15, Dr. Tovares performed surgery to clean out the artery. I was released the next day and I believe that the work done by Stroke Scan saved me from a possible stroke. My most sincere thanks go to Stroke Scan personnel for their great work."

Sincerely,
Gary Chessnut "As a result of your screening test that I had done on Jan. 19, I was told I needed to seek medical help. I quickly made an appt. to see a cardiologist. They confirmed that the plaque was severe (98% blocked) in my right carotid artery. They also discovered that I had 4 blocked arteries on my heart. Only 20 days from your screening, I had the carotid artery cleaned out, and 4 bypasses on my heart. I had been experiencing dizziness and throbbing in my head. I thought this was due to high blood pressure. Since my surgery, these symptoms have disappeared! Thanks to your screening, a potential stroke and heart attack was avoided. My grateful thanks to the Stroke Scan team and the good work you are doing to help people stay well."

Ray H. Donna, Tx. “I go to my Doctor every year in Iowa before we leave for Texas. He always listens to the arteries in my neck, and always says the same thing, and I quote….”You are just fine.” Since I was having no symptoms, I felt confident. Well, this time he was wrong. You, Joey Wyatt (lead technician) found that one of my carotid arteries was severely blocked. (Later found to be 95% blocked). I have since had the blockage repaired and I am feeling great! I am so thankful to you for saving my life!”

"Two years ago, I was replacing a door hinge in my home. Without warning, I fell to the floor and could not get up. The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital suffering from a massive stroke. Two days prior I had a terrible headache. The Doctor found that one of my carotid arteries was completely blocked and a blood clot that broke loose was the cause of the stroke. If I had only known about the these tests, I would have had them sooner. I urge everyone to get screened soon!"

Melvin A. Mission Dear Stroke Scan, Inc.

I am at Raymondville R. V. Park. I had the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and the peripheral arterial disease (PAD) tests done on February 12. I wish my wife could have had this test four years ago. Maybe she would be with me today. On December 7th, 1998 she went shopping. She came home at 5:45 P.M. We talked about our I.R.A. account, which you have to draw part of it out at 70 1/2 years of age. We were talking about investing it, but we decided to apply for a motor home. She coughed twice. I said, “Mom are you ok?” She did not answer me, so I went over and put my hands on her shoulders. She did not respond. I called 911 and they said “Get her out of the chair and give her mouth-to-mouth.” I did and they were there in five minutes. They gave her shocked her heart and took her to the hospital. They pronounced her dead at 6:15 P.M. with a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

Yours Truly,
Wendell R. Smith Dear Stroke Scan , Inc.

We have Stroke Scan, Inc. to thank for my husband having a second chance at life. On February 14th he had a color-flow Doppler ultrasound, screening exam of the carotid arteries at Southern Comfort R. V. Park in Weslaco, Tx. Two years ago, He had it done and both sides were mildly blocked, but this time you found the right side had progressed to severe. We saw a cardiologist the following Tuesday and he was scheduled for a coronary angiogram the next day. Dr. Morales and we were shocked at the findings. He had two 100 % blockages, two 95% blockages and five 90% blockages. He had surgery performed by Dr. Bracomontes on the 22nd and he had to do a five-way bypass and repair one area below the bypasses. Then, proceeded to do an angioplasty on the carotid artery. Thank goodness he was in good physical condition, he didn't have any other health problems to work against him. Dr. Morales said he could have had a stroke or heart attack at any time, and either would have been fatal.

So we're thankful he had an angel sitting on his shoulder. Thanks to all of you at Stroke Scan for the good work you are doing.
