    By not being a trained nurse. Being wrong is pretty easy, you just have to not know things.

    My perception was that if you get something like a stroke, the initial damage is horrendous and that usually don’t heal. Any improvement is the brain offloading the lost functions to other parts of the brain. But once the damage is done and doctors and nurses stopped the source of the damage, I figured the brain would just remain where it was.
