Deans' stroke musings: Dear Mr. Baranski, NSA CEO - Do you want to help stroke survivors or not?

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.

Dear Mr. Baranski, NSA CEO - Do you want to help stroke survivors or not?

Then ask survivors what they want instead of assuming that you have any idea what they need.
I want 100% recovery, where is your information on that? No money for you until that is available free to all. This email request for money is appalling.

Dear dean,

Did you know that all gifts made to National Stroke Association before Dec. 31 are 100% tax deductible? It’s easy to make your gift online to support the needs of the stroke community and keep all National Stroke Association resources free.

This year, we’ve had more than 55,000 downloads of key resources like the Stroke Risk Scorecard, Hope and Careliving℠ guides. And, each of these downloads was free and made available because of donations from our generous supporters.

Your donation to National Stroke Association helps us grow the resources that are available to the stroke community and, if made before Dec. 31, it is 100% tax deductible.

Ask us what we want - the crap you put out there is worthless.

As we approach the Dec. 31 deadline, we are so thankful for the gifts and support that we have received this year. Your engagement confirms to us that there is a growing need within the stroke community for more support to navigate the road to recovery. Your year-end gift will help make those resources a reality.

Thankfully,
