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.

Why I hope every neurologist, PMR doctor for stroke hates me

Because doing the best for their patients is not occurring right now. If it was they would be having their doctor associations, Joint Commission and the WSO on high alert to get stroke research and rehab breathlessly talked about in any health discussion. And the way to do that is to have every single stroke survivor demand a protocol to get to 100% recovery. And threaten to not pay them until they do. Altruism hasn't worked, time to bring out the big guns.  Standard of care. Use all the links I've provided to prove they are not paying attention and thus failing in their standard of care responsibilities. Quote me liberally, I want Dean to be a swear word in the stroke medical world.
This may take 50 years but you have to start some time.

    I know that the standard of care hasn't changed a tiny bit since I showed up at our ER actively having a stroke. It's pathetic. Think of the money that could be saved by insurance and Medicare, if someone actually gave a shit about preventing what happened to us and what can be done to FIX us.
