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.

What is your doctor doing the first week you are in the hospital for your stroke?

This is a very serious question. If they are doing nothing then your doctor is a problem you need to solve. Demand to know what s/he is going to do about the neuronal cascade of death. Its from Jan. 2009 so that will tell you a lot about their incompetence.  I would suggest telling them they will not get paid unless they get off their ass and do something positive.
My suggestions with references are here;
What I am going to insist I get after my next stroke

Then ask your doctor how many neurons they are killing; Calculations are provided in this post.

How many neurons is your doctor responsible for killing/not saving?
Sounds like a class action suit that your neurons would have a good chance of winning if they were alive, but they were killed to make sure they couldn't testify in the RICO case.

But since I am not medically trained I should not be listened too and should never point out the nakedness of the medical emperor.


Sorry about that, I was feeling especially ranty today.
Yes, I am still outraged.

  1. You're not alone in your outrage. I was in the ER with my symptoms coming and going when I was diagnosed. There we go: from working fine to not working - over and over. Is it not likely that my brain cells were dying right then and there!?!

    No one did anything wrong - there was just nothing they could do because no one has figured out yet how to prevent those cells from dying. Because it is somehow not important that we are going to be disabled for the rest of our lives.

    Ranty myself today, apparently.
