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.

High-Tech Way to Diagnose Stroke

This is just a job saving initiative for neurologists. Fairly soon the  Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize will make this totally obsolete. Don't expect your neurologist to embrace this change, I bet you will need to call the hospital president directly to accomplish this change since I'm sure the stroke department head will not want to embrace technology that will lead to less doctors needed in the department.

What is TeleNet:Stroke Service:
TeleNet: Stroke service is a program that allows community hospitals to get an immediate diagnosis and treatment to a patient suspected of stroke. By collaborating with neurologic specialists, hospitals in the network can improve care while keeping a patient close to home, using this high-tech system.
Dr. Cole points out most community hospitals do not have a neurologist on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  But with TeleNet:Stroke, Dr. Cole says now a specialist can actually see, examine and interact with the patient in real time, enabling the team to make an accurate decision to administer medication and develop a treatment plan.
“We can quickly, accurately, and efficiently evaluate stroke patients to determine if they are candidates for thrombolytic therapy,” says Dr. Cole.
