Time to go to the ER
If you or someone you see is having symptoms, rushing to medical care is the best way to stay alive and minimize impacts of a stroke. This new treatment (EVT) as well as older treatments (TPA) all work to remove the source of occlusion that prevents oxygen from reaching parts of the brain.
That makes me afraid of living in the upper floors of any tall building. I can't stop thinking the additional time it would take to rush me, or someone in my family, out, in case of medical emergency, may be the difference between a quick recovery, death, or perhaps becoming a vegetable afterwards.
Personally I'm more worried about living alone. If $thing happens (stroke or even stupid accident) then my cat is unlikely to ring 999 on my behalf, give my address or unlock the front door; all of which seem like more of a delay than an elevator.
