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.

Amarillo hospital receives accreditations

Big f*cking whoopee.
http://amarillo.com/blog-post/bizstream/2014-12-17/amarillo-hospital-receives-accreditations 
Vibra Rehabilitation Hospital of Amarillo, a 44-bed acute inpatient medical rehabilitation hospital, has received the industry recognized Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities accreditation for inpatient rehabilitation programs in hospitals for adults and inpatient rehabilitation programs in hospitals for stroke specialty programs for adults.
By receiving these three-year accreditations, Vibra Rehab Hospital has distinguished itself as the first rehabilitation hospital in the Texas Panhandle to receive accreditation from CARF for its inpatient rehabilitation programs and inpatient stroke specialty program.
Vibra Rehab Hospital applied for CARF accreditation in June with a commitment to attain the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to a rehabilitation organization.
The rehabilitation industry recognizes CARF as an independent, nonprofit accrediting body that establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve their programs and services.(Nothing about results).
Receiving CARF accreditation demonstrates that Vibra Rehabilitation Hospital of Amarillo is committed to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
“We are very proud that Vibra Rehabilitation Hospital of Amarillo is being recognized as the only CARF accredited freestanding acute inpatient medical rehabilitation hospital in Amarillo and the surrounding 25 counties of the Panhandle region,” said Michael Long, vice president of operations for Vibra Healthcare LLC. “By offering CARF accredited adult inpatient medical rehabilitation and inpatient stroke specialty programs through a recognized team of specially trained physicians, therapists, nurses and clinical staff that are all focused entirely on each patient’s rehabilitation needs, Vibra Rehab Hospital is recognized as the leading comprehensive medical rehabilitation provider in the region.”
Vibra of Amarillo is located at 7200 S.W. Ninth Ave. For additional information, visit http://www.vrhamarillo.com.

I couldn't find any stroke standards at the CARF website - http://www.carf.org/home/
so with nothing public, this is completely f*cking worthless.
