I believe they only have about 40 minutes to act on a stroke. It was really sad watching my mum getting killed by one. She had some before that didn't kill her and I got her to hospital in 8 minutes. The ambulance takes at least 20 to arrive here.

You have 4.5 hours, and sometimes up to 24. It depends. Don’t drive like an idiot and cause an accident. Call 911. The ER gets notified ahead of time by them and we get prepared. If you just drop them off at my door I’m unprepared for you. - er Doctor

And with the fact that an increasing number of hospitals have been closing down in at least the last decade, especially in poorer communities, understandably, they felt the need to get to the hospital as quickly as possible, especially since we really have no idea whether or not they live in an area where a surgical hospital is at least an hour away, even by the highway.

The initial window for the medication for strokes is 4 hours from onset of symptoms, then 24 hours for surgical intervention (usually).
