Deans' stroke musings: Governor Rick Perry signs heart health legislation into law

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.

Governor Rick Perry signs heart health legislation into law

Texans, the Lone Star Stroke Consortium is way too important to have anyone with a medical background controlling it. So step up and demand that survivors run the complete show. If someone complains ask what they have done for stroke in the last 20 years.

Late Friday evening, Governor Rick Perry signed three important pieces of legislation that will impact the heart health of all Texans.
Senate Bill 1, which is the General Appropriations Act for the upcoming biennium beginning Sept. 1, 2013, included $5 million appropriated to the Texas Council on Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, of which $500,000 is to be used for stroke and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) data collection and $4.5 million to be used for the Lone Star Stroke Consortium, which will be utilized for stroke systems of care coordination.
Perry also signed two critical pieces of legislation, HB 897 (CPR in Schools) and HB 740 (newborn screening for congenital heart defects). These three campaigns will have a significant impact on heart disease and stroke in Texas.
