Deans' stroke musings: What your perfect stroke doctor and hospital should be doing

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 your perfect stroke doctor and hospital should be doing

The ambulance ride should already have determined if you had an ischemic vs. hemorrhagic stroke so as soon as you hit the ER you can get tPA if necessary. Either through the tricorder possibly thru one of these 17 ways.
Your doctor does an MRI scan to determine the extent of the dead area.
Your doctor does a PET scan to determine the penumbra or bleed damage area.
Both scans are used to create a 3d mapping of the death/damage.

That knowledge is imparted to all the therapists so they can follow the stroke protocols that will lead back to 100% recovery.
The first week will have variations on these 177 possibilities that will stop the neuronal cascade of death. MRIs will be used to validate that the neuronal cascade of death has been stopped.
For the completely dead areas neuroplasticity research has identified exactly how to relocate functions. Maybe through

Dead brain rehab/chronic is discussed in this post:

Your doctor and hospital will throw out lots of excuses why this can't be done. I don't give a shit why they can't do this, if not they are totally fucking incompetent. Scream that in their faces. Its probably the only way we will ever get to having decent stroke rehab. I want to hear about arrested stroke patients in hospitals.
Challenge your doctor to have something better than this for a plan.
100% recovery is the ONLY goal.
