Deans' stroke musings: Nominate someone for RAISE Award today! National 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.

Nominate someone for RAISE Award today! National Stroke Association

**Guargantuan F*cking Whoopee.**

Once again the National Stroke Association does stuff that 'feels good' but does nothing to actually help any survivor. Awareness, not actually solving any problems. The only awareness that should be worked on is communicating all the problems in stroke that need to be solved. But the NSA will only do 'happy talk' crap.

Dear Friend,
Are you familiar with National Stroke Association’s Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards? This national awards program recognizes individuals and groups for taking stroke awareness activities to new heights. No effort to raise awareness about stroke is too small. Past winners represent the range of activities—including a stroke survivor artist, online aphasia support group leaders, and a hospital that created an awareness video.
Nomination is easy! Select from one of the six categories and honor your stroke hero today.
In health,
