Description
Louis R. Caplan wrote a review essay asking whether the medical term transient ischemic attack still earns its place. Some clinicians argue that modern scanning and testing have made the old label obsolete. Caplan answers by tracing how the term arose and how its meaning was used over time, then weighing the case made by supporters against the case made by critics. His aim is to judge whether the idea still helps doctors think and act, rather than to report new patient data.
