15. Doubtful

My son (then 17) had a life-threatening strep infection and for a couple days, they had him on hyperbaric therapy—until they discovered that his particular strep THRIVED on the extra oxygen. He ended up losing his leg to stop the infection’s progress.

I don’t really see this as an option for stroke. No amount of oxygen could repair what’s damaged in a stroke. A stroke victim can only attempt to retrain new areas of the brain to take up what the damaged parts can no longer do, and even then, you’re unlikely to recover motor functions that were lost. My maternal grandpa had a couple strokes and whilst they didn’t seem to affect his mind, he had progressive motor function failures and could barely shuffle with a cane at the end.

Shitler will only go downhill from here no matter what they try. Sadly, it won’t be fast enough.
