Brain stroke is a fatal condition,if not treated urgently. It is one of the acute medical emergencies. It carries a high morbidity. Therefore we must know the early warning signs.

-- weakness or numbness on one side of body.

-- sudden confusion and problems with understanding.

-- strange or slurred speech.

-- dizziness,trouble in walking and loss of balance .

-- trouble with vision,one or both eyes.

-- double vision.

-- severe headache.

If any of the above is experienced, rush to nearest hospital immediately and urgently. Please remember to note the time of onset of first symptom. There are medications when given wthin 3 hours of onset of symptoms,That may reduce long term disability.

PLEASE REMEMBER TIME IS OF ESSENCE.

Not exactly but more or less. Heart attack doesn't leave any physical scar. While stroke leaves physical scar in form of visual disturbance,speech problems,paralysis or paresis of one half of body or one limb and so on and so forth.

There are few things where I find hard to agree with you. For example,you said removing one kidney, half's filtering capacity. It is far from truth. One healthy kidney is enough for our needs. And as such any diet cut is not required. I am sorry to contradict .

Again I do not agree. Heart attack doesn't mean disabled life. One can lead perfectly normal life after even few heart attacks, depending upon your will.

Please note that we have two kidneys,unlike Pancreas. Even if one kidney is removed,other works normally. It is NOT overworked. It not a news. It is a scientific fact.
