Deans' stroke musings: What to do the second day after your stroke

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.

What to do the second day after your stroke

You tell your doctor they have killed off
In each minute,
1.9 million neurons die
14 billion synapses die
12 km (7.5 miles) of myelinated fibers die
brain ages 3.6 years each hour without treatment
(This probably can be cut in half after the original emergency is over, this is the continuing damage from the neuronal cascade of death.)
Followup with the first day questions they still haven't answered.
What are they going to do to stop those neuronal deaths from progressing? Charge them $1 for every neuron they fail to save($950,000 a minute). This is probably the only thing that will concentrate your doctors mind and the hospital they work for. Maybe, just maybe that might be the tipping point to get them to solve the neuronal cascade of death. Nothing else seems to work.

It should be fairly easy to get an app for your iPad or iPhone that keeps a running total of dead neurons that can be shown every time your doctor does rounds. All those interns following may understand why neurologists aren't respected.
