Atlanta, after finishing 7-9 last season, is faced with a potential hard decision on coach Dan Quinn, who took that team to the Super Bowl only four years ago.

Like all strokes, a parietal lobe stroke involves either the rupture or blockage of a blood vessel in the brain. It’s the resulting lack of constant blood flow to the parietal lobe that deprives that area of adequate oxygen and causes cell death that impairs many sensory, visual, and/or language functions—sometimes permanently.
