Deans' stroke musings: What Would Dean Do? - As head of that great stroke association

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 Would Dean Do? - As head of that great stroke association

I put together this list a year ago and I see no movement toward this in any of the existing stroke associations.

What would a great stroke association look like?

The main thing it would accomplish is to actually have a goal of 100% recovery for all and no 30 day deaths. A strategy to accomplish this would exist. Anything less is pure laziness and incompetency. We will not be a press release organization.

What is your stroke association doing? ANYTHING AT ALL?
Are you using your membership to change the world or just going with the flow? Nothing is going to be accomplished doing what is being done now. 50 years and you can see no results.
Are you ok with that?

Have at it. I want to hear the excuses why these goals can't be met.
