Is there a doctor in the house?

[rolanni]

I'm looking for information on how a Regency-period doctor might describe/diagnose a stroke.

All assistance greatly appreciated.

That's why I said symptoms presented count - if they don't look like they're "having an apoplexy" that is, thrashing a bit or otherwise acting odd ---the Regency favorite is turning red or purple in the face and sputtering without being able to speak and then falling over CRASH!--- it might not be diagnosed correctly.
