In retrospect, it is clear that Missy’s condition was caused by neither insomnia nor the change of life; her collapse on the evening of June 4 was most likely a small stroke, an undiagnosed warning signal for the major stroke she suffered two weeks later.

Why is it not surprising that a woman's health issues should be so little understood? And how depressingly little has changed in the past 80+ years!
