Deans' stroke musings: Stroke goals in 10 years

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Stroke goals in 10 years

With thanks to Depleted cranium for this idea.

Be it enacted by the Congress of the United States:

The Treasurer of the United States is directed to pay to the first American owned company (if corporate at least 60% of the shares must be held by American citizens) the following sums for the following accomplishments. No monies shall be paid until the goals specified are accomplished and certified by suitable experts from the National Institute of Health or the

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

1. The sum of $3 billion to be paid for the repeatable complete recovery(not compensation) of 100 acute survivors 5 times in a row. Survivors consecutively chosen from different stroke hospitals.

2. The sum of $4 billion to be paid for the repeatable complete recovery
(not compensation)of 100 chronic survivors 5 times in a row. Survivors consecutively chosen from different stroke hospitals.

3. The sum of $5 billion to be paid for off-patented generic use of any drugs constructed to accomplish goal 1 or 2.

4. The sum of $10 billion for the documentation and training and delivery to all hospitals and neurologists/ER doctors and neurology professors in the US. To be accomplished in 2 years from start to finish.

5. The payments made shall be exempt from all US taxes.
That would do it. Not one cent to be paid until the goals are accomplished. Not a bit of risk, and if it can’t be done for those sums, well, no harm done to the treasury.
The World Stroke Organization doesn't have any goals like these, They have taken the easy way out by focusing on telling the world that if only you humans would take care of your health you wouldn't have strokes.
Lazy, Lazy Lazy.

This would be cheap if this succeeds.
If you have your own ideas please post them. It is useless to wait for our doctors/researchers/stroke associations to accomplish this. The current methods to fund stroke rehabilitation are not working.
