Deans' stroke musings: The 113th Congress and Medical Research Funding: A Perfect Storm Approaching?

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.

The 113th Congress and Medical Research Funding: A Perfect Storm Approaching?

We probably won't be able to depend on the US government to fund medical research much longer.
This just makes the need to create a Great Stroke association that funds research that much more important. An innovative stroke association would have prepared for this situation 5-10 years ago.
If you expect your children/grandchildren to have a better chance at recovery from stroke you will need to step up to the plate because the current players have failed and will continue to fail. Your ability to buy recovery does not exist so you may try to fund research now.
