A quote from Seth Godin. This is so appallingly true in strokes' case. We never talk about all the problems in stroke. We gladly put out press releases and talk about minor research findings that suggest this intervention or this food might reduce the risk of stroke. Or we promote telemedicine because that allows a few more people to get tPA, even though tPA when looked at objectively is a failure most of the time.
I expect leaders to tackle the toughest problems and we seem to have NO leaders in stroke at all.
The denials all sound the same. They don’t come from stupidity, from
people who aren’t smart enough to understand what’s going on. They come from people who won’t look.
As far as I am concerned these people are not leaders:
NSA President - Mr. Lopez
AHA President - Dr. Arnett
WSO President - Dr. Davis
Someone should be able to prove me wrong with examples of how they are tackling the problems in stroke.
Not press releases, actual work to solve these problems by following a
strategy. Someday, one of these persons will call me up and invite me to
talk to them.
