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.

Stroke victim paid £350K after warfarin withdrawn

And what exactly is your standard of care during the first week when neurons are dying off by the millions due to the neuronal cascade of death? Are the doctors just sitting on their asses not doing anything at all? Do they even know there is a neuronal cascade of death? Demand an answer from your hospital. Apologies will not bring back dead neurons so sue the hell out of them. Maybe money will change behavior, nothing else seems to work to get the stroke world to solve their problems with saving neurons from dying.

A Greater Manchester woman who had a stroke after she was taken off blood-thinning drugs has been awarded £350,000 compensation from a hospital trust.
Anne Olliver, 66, from Altrincham, was taken off the drug warfarin while at Wythenshawe Hospital in 2007.
The former librarian suffered a stroke in November 2010 when a blood clot travelled from a chamber in her heart to her brain.
Mrs Olliver said she had been left so incapacitated by the stroke she was now unable to carry out "even the simplest of tasks".
A statement from the University Hospital of South Manchester Trust said: "The trust accepts that there were failings in the standard of care provided to Mrs Olliver, and apologises unreservedly."
