Demographic Influences Interpretation

Stroke recovery is a brutal referendum on pre-existing social privilege, where your odds of returning to work are less about the lesion in your brain and more about your age, your race, your gender, your bank account, your zip code, your education, your marital status, and even your job title before the world so rudely interrupted.
