Deans' stroke musings: Minnesota launches effort to improve rural response to strokes

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.

Minnesota launches effort to improve rural response to strokes

All these groups that think just rolling out the existing infrastructure is the way to go are missing the point.

They should be looking at why specialized stroke hospitals evolved, mainly because to diagnose a stroke between ischemic and haemorrhagic needed specialized machines and a neurologist to read the output. Going down that route is complete insanity. You need to find an easy way to objectively diagnose a stroke. That will be accomplished with the tricorder possibly thru one of these 17 ways.
The whole point should be to get away from primary stroke centers because normal emergency rooms should be able to handle at least the ischemic strokes.
