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.

This is why a computer algorithm cannot ever fully replace a doctor’s judgment

If we had any objective diagnosis of damage from a stroke and then the protocols that address such damage then we could use Dr. Algorithm. But we have neither so we are left with the fuckingly stupid statement from our medical staff, 
'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'.
So our stroke leadership should be focusing on obtaining an objective diagnosis, creating stroke rehab protocols and correlating the two. This is so fucking simple, why hasn't it been accomplished yet?
Inertia or stupidity? Leaders tackle the hard problems, we seem to have no leaders.
