If an ambulance delivers you to the emergency department at Dignity Health Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and doctors think you're having a stroke, they will have a specialist in neurology at your bedside in an average of six minutes, ready to discuss the case with ER doctors, observe and talk with the patient, order tests and guide the delivery of life-saving medicine. The specialist is not physically in the room, but he or she might as well be.
