I'm just a layperson trying to change the stroke
world. As a stroke survivor and with 1 in 6 people getting a stroke
according to the WSO there is an immediate need to challenge and change
everything associated with stroke. I am passionate and will probably
offend every neurologist and PMR doctor out there.

Medicine will need to follow the lead of Amy Farber. She co-invented a revolutionary web service
with MIT Media Lab that enables patients to participate in the search
for their own cures. For the past five years Farber has been battling
not only her own disease but
also
the wall of resistance erected by those who believe that a patient can
make about as much of a meaningful contribution to the process of
scientific discovery as a laboratory rat.
Patients
will be the future of strategy for their diseases. They have time and
energy that doctors do not have. And they are smarter than those
laboratory rats. Non-profits like
Michael J. Fox foundation, the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation, and the Myelin
Repair Foundation will be where donations go because they are doing
actual work to combat the disease. Ones that are just press release
organizations like the American Stroke Association, National Stroke
Association and the World Stroke Organization will fall by the wayside.
Cheers.
