The perfect time to have a stroke?

I'd argue that the "best" age to have a stroke is 27. The entire brain is fully wired (the frontal lobe wires in the 26th year). You're young enough to undertake the rigors of recovery (recovery is statistically better the younger you are). But you're old enough to have your brain wired "normally" (recovery in children is often a mixed bag because the brain is not yet fully developed).

But what is the best day to have a stroke? Any day but the weekend. Turns out the having a stroke on the w/e means lower quality care than during the week.
