AB A  lot  has  happened  since  the  first  edition  of  this  book  and  my  departure  from  New  York  City  to  arrive  in  Houston,  Texas.  The  field  of  neurology  continued  to  evolve,  especially  in  the  area  of  therapeutics.  Multiple  class  I-type  of  evidence  emerged  from  intraarterial  thrombectomy  studies  showing  its  undeniable,  outcome-improving  intervention,  when  combined  with  intravenous  rt-PA  compared  to  intravenous  thrombolysis  alone  in  2015.  This  ground-breaking  study  result,  along  with  other  therapeutic  advances  in  other  neurological  subspecialties,  further  transformed  the  field  of  neurology  from  merely  admiring  phenomenology  to  more  time-sensitive  interventional  field.  The  field  of  neurocritical  care  is  at  the  forefront  of  therapeutic  efforts,  as  our  daily  practice  focuses  on  resuscitating  and  reversing  multiple  organ  failures.
