So yes, it may be annoying to have someone ask a question they could have just easily googled, but just be mindful about the chronic annoyance that comes from regularly googling things and having to digest everything that comes from it, usually without satisfactory results.

(For reference, this was from me wondering if there were ways to prevent strokes or get pre-stroke diagnostic procedures. My interpretation is that we have technology that has some capabilities for doing this but not on a wide scale because, of course, of a price tag. And at this point I have to either stop, or continue along a potentially pointless research rabbit-hole trying to determine what it would take to make ct scans cost-free, which I assume would take me into many fields I have little to no knowledge in...
so yeah I kind of have to stop, or else abandon another pursuit I see the potential for more success in)
