Every single stroke patient treated should be considered a clinicians error if they don't fully recover. This is an incredibly offensive statement to our doctors but since non-recovery has been happening for hundreds of years, past errors of not working on stopping stroke disability is laid at the feet of the stroke medical profession. You can't blame it on lack of defined research if you don't even participate in research.

Not only did the doctor miss the Afib but the treating physicians for the stroke missed stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Lack of a standard of care in the first week is no reason not to create your own based on the available research. Like these 31 possibilities.
