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.
It needs to be the doctor's responsibility to tell their patients how important inpatient rehab is, I agree. But that's called leadership, and doctors don't do that. They leave it to therapists, and they're allergic to the subject of neuroplasticity. So the patients learn nothing, and all that recovery goes to the outside dumpsters. The patients instead get taught Learned Non-Use and how to turn their hand and arms into great organic cup-holders.
ReplyDeleteYeah my doctor wrote ET - evaluate and treat prescriptions, nothing that I couldn't have done myself. I don't think he knew a damn thing.
