CEREBROSPINALECTOMYRecruiter, 6:04 a.m.: "Are you open to new opportunities?" Me: "I am in a code stroke." Recruiter: "So is that a no?" Me: "It is a door-to-needle time. And you are now inside it." What's your version? Send this to the colleague who answers unknown numbers at 6 a.m.
EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)
Door-to-needle time is the interval from emergency department arrival to administration of intravenous thrombolysis and is a tracked stroke quality metric, with guideline targets of 60 minutes or less.
Door-to-needle time and the 60-minute target are standard, long-established stroke quality metrics (AHA/ASA Target: Stroke).
