If you haven't done the reading, why expect to be treated as a stroke professional?

This is what I happen to think is our stroke professions major failing. They haven't kept up with the research. Without this there can never be a strategy. There are probably thousands of research possibilities that I have written about and I'm sure I've missed thousands more. Everyone seems to be sitting on their university knowledge and hoping that will get them through their career. CMEs are not the answer because they only are for the major topics. True stroke professionals would be all over me and pointing out exactly where I'm wrong. Yet no professional seems to have ever commented on my blog.

Did you do the reading?

It's absurd to think of going to a book group meeting and opining about a book you didn't even read.
More rude: Going to a PhD seminar and participating in the discussion without reading the book first.
And of course, no one wants a surgeon operating on them if she hasn't read the latest journal article on this particular procedure.
It makes no sense to me to vote for a candidate who doesn't care enough to have read (and understood) the history of those that came before.
A first hurdle: Are you aware of what the reading (your reading) must include? What's on the list? The more professional your field, the more likely it is that people know what's on the list.
The reading isn't merely a book, of course. The reading is what we call it when you do the difficult work of learning to think with the best, to stay caught up, to understand.
The reading exposes you to the state of the art. The reading helps you follow a thought-through line of reasoning and agree, or even better, challenge it. The reading takes effort.
