The sitcom was about two African-American children in New York City who were adopted by a rich white widower who had a daughter and a maid. The cast members included Todd Bridges, Gary Coleman, Dana Plato, and Conrad Bain. The child stars ended up having problems after the show ended. Plato died due to a drug overdose, while Coleman and Bridges got into legal trouble. Due to these problems, "The Curse of Diff'rent Strokes" became a term associated with the show.
Diff'rent Strokes was the source of the spinoff series The Facts of Life. Star Gary Coleman popularized the catch phrase, "Wha'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?", which was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is still mentioned in pop culture references today.
Strokes in the left side of the brain tend to affect language and dominant-hand function, but right-hemisphere events are more likely to cause confusion and motion problems, which could be mistaken for other disorders.
Left-side strokes were recorded more frequently among patients with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke, but the rate of intracerebral hemorrhages, which tend to cause more serious symptoms, was evenly divided between left and right hemispheres.
The difference in admission rates between patients with left and right hemispheric strokes grew larger with patient age, but the gap narrowed as the severity of symptoms and interval between symptom onset and admission time increased.
