## Resource

Every minute a stroke goes untreated, 1.9 billion neurons are lost. In this episode, Nurse Rosa Hart sits down with neurosurgeon Dr. David Dornbos III to talk about what is changing in stroke care, what still needs to change, and what he would do with a billion dollars to move the needle. Dr. Dornbos is an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky Department of Neurological Surgery and a specialist in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery at the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute. With over 130 peer-reviewed publications, NIH funding for early stroke biology research, and a seat on the Executive Committee of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, he is one of the sharpest minds working at the intersection of clinical care and innovation in stroke today. Whether you are a bedside nurse, a stroke coordinator, or simply someone who wants to understand where brain attack care is headed, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about time, technology, and what it means to fight for your patients. In this episode, you will hear about: What drew him to neurosurgery and specifically to stroke The latest innovations in endovascular stroke treatment and where device technology is heading His NIH-funded research into the early biologic environment of stroke and why that window matters Why he believes even a small shift in ischemic stroke outcomes would create a profound ripple across the entire healthcare system His answer to the billion-dollar question: device innovation and adjuvant neurotherapeutics as the highest-impact investment in stroke care How earned media and awareness campaigns can be a powerful tool for stroke prevention How to connect with his work and the CNS community Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Dr. David Dornbos III 01:29 Journey into…
