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.

change the world of stroke rehab

My response to an email I got.

I kinda feel like a prophet crying in the wilderness and the people that need to hear me are in the cities with their ears covered over. If every survivor created a blog we would have 15 million plus blogs and that presence would overwhelm the medical world. One would think stroke associations would be for us but they aren't, they are meant for doctors and survivors are just their means of getting money. We really need for every survivor to challenge their medical staff about why they know so little about stroke recovery. Sorry about ranting but there is nothing in the stroke world that can't be improved  vastly. And that's what this blog is about - to change the world of stroke rehab.

This is an almost impossible task, but I'm having fun tweaking the noses of the medical world.

    Dean, I don't mean to discourage you, but you ARE a lone voice in the wilderness. Stroke survivors are on your side, but that's preaching to the choir.
