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 Shirky Principle as applied to stroke

My head explodes how this precisely describes trying to get the stroke medical world to examine itself.
The Japanese version;
シャーキーの法則  The Shirky Principle

「組織は自分自身がその解決策となるべき問題を維持しようとする。」―― クレイ・シャーキー

こ の意見はすばらしいと思う。これを見て、私は明解なピーターの法則を思い出した。それは、組織にいる人間はその人が無能になる段階まで昇進する、というも のである。その段階になると、その人は過去の業績のおかげで解雇されることはないが、それ以上昇進できなくなって、その無能な状態で滞留する。
"Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution." -- Clay Shirky
I think this observation is brilliant. It reminds me of the clarity of the Peter Principle, which says that a person in an organization will be promoted to the level of their incompetence. At which point their past achievements will prevent them from being fired, but their incompetence at this new level will prevent them from being promoted again, so they stagnate in their incompetence.
The Shirky Principle declares that complex solutions (like a company, or an industry) can become so dedicated to the problem they are the solution to, that often they inadvertently perpetuate the problem.

Ask your doctor how they are not part of the problem. I want reports of exploding heads.
This matches to my earlier post about the non-plasticity of doctors.

Do doctors exhibit plasticity?
