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.

Good Cop, Bad Cop

A good cop would praise the WSO for the milquetoast crap that came out of the World Stroke Organization Synergium in 2010. And then politely ask them to update it for 2014.
A good cop would praise the NSA for the wonderful press releases extolling their need for more money so they can deliver milksop prevention, F.A.S.T. and rehabilitation information. None of which directly addresses the real problem.
A good cop would praise the ASA for their setting up of stroke groups, so survivors can complain to each other rather than giving them solid information on how to recover.
A good cop would praise the Joint Commission for their delivery of standardized processes to hospital stroke departments that don't even measure the most important factors of how many strokies that come in survive, how many die in the first 30 days, how many get to 100% recovery.
A Bad Cop - me would keep on pointing out all the failings and keep on doing it until they stop all the stupid things they are doing and get to useful, actionable items that are in the stroke survivors best interest. All these groups really don't give a crap about survivors because this is just a job to them, not a passion. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Does no one feel shame in these organizations?
