Deans' stroke musings

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!Just think of all the trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 13% effective). I have 301 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:

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's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Lansing hospital 1st in Michigan to be certified comprehensive stroke center

I suppose I should be happy since this is probably where I would be sent for my next stroke. But since the Joint commission doesn't let you know what is being evaluated this is actually rather worthless. There is never any discussion on how many patients get to 100% recovery. That would be my criteria.

Sparrow Hospital officials in Lansing are celebrating their recent certification as Michigan’s first Comprehensive Stroke Center.
The Lansing hospital is one of only 20 centers recognized for its stroke treatment, which starts with diagnosis, through hospital treatment and outpatient therapy.

  1. And yet their website lists warning signs of stroke as face, speech, and limb pushed by the ASA. Those of ud who show up with SUDDEN onset of poor balance or impaired vision are screwed.
