Deans' stroke musings: The Research Acceleration and Innovation Network talks to Nancy Brown, CEO of AHA

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.

The Research Acceleration and Innovation Network talks to Nancy Brown, CEO of AHA

I'm sorry Ms. Brown but you are totally missing the point on prevention, you are focusing on preventing the stroke in the first place and don't even mention these 11 items, rather you focus on the generalizations which can then be used to point to the reason for your stroke is the fact that you didn't follow these generalizations. And you totally miss preventing the neuronal cascade of death.
You also missed the point on allowing researchers investigator-initiated vs. strategically focused research projects.If you ever expect to get anywhere in a decent amount of time you have to have a strategy and direct your researchers to follow that strategy. It just means your organization does not have enough knowledge and brainpower to do a decent job planning how to solve all the problems in stroke. If you can't do that simple job, get the hell out of the way for better people.
Your greatest accomplishment over the past decade would have to be nothing that any survivor finds useful.
Sorry, I give out an F.
