A transient ischaemic attack I think will NOT cause permanent damage to the brain, whereas a stroke will leave some degree of lasting disability. As to who is involved, I guess it depends greatly upon the level of disability caused by the stroke. Paramedics, doctors + nurses in A+E, neurologist + nurses on the ward, general practitioner, Physiotherapist, OT, Speech and Language Therapist, Social worker might give you a start.
Ok google tells me that the symptoms of a TIA are gone within 24 hours, but they are an important warning signal of impending stroke.
Sorry I can't be more helpful
"Can you have a mild stroke and not know it?
Yes. They're called a mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Transient ischemic attack (tia)
A brief interruption of the blood supply to part of the brain, it causes a temporary impairment of vision, speech, or movement. Usually the episode lasts for just a few moments, but it may be a warning sign for a full-scale stroke.
Cerebral thrombosis occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms within the brain itself, blocking the flow of blood through the affected vessel. Clots most often form due to "hardening" (atherosclerosis) of brain arteries. Cerebral thrombosis occurs most often at night or early in the morning. Cerebral thrombosis is often preceded by a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a "mini-stroke." In a TIA, blood flow is temporarily interrupted, causing short-lived stroke-like symptoms. Recognizing the occurrence of a TIA and seeking immediate treatment are important steps in stroke prevention.
Stroke is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment. Prompt treatment improves the chances of survival and increases the degree of recovery that may be expected. A person who may have suffered a stroke should be seen in a hospital emergency room without delay. Treatment to break up a blood clot, the major cause of stroke, must begin within three hours of the stroke to be effective. Improved medical treatment of all types of stroke has resulted in a dramatic decline in death rates in recent decades. In 1950, nine in 10 people died from stroke, compared to slightly less than one in three today.
