Deans' stroke musings: Katie May Dies: What Caused Her Stroke?

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.

Katie May Dies: What Caused Her Stroke?

Lots of speculation here and no clarification at all from our knowledgeable stroke associations. These high profile deaths should be analyzed properly so we have correct information out there about strokes.

Katie May Dies: What Caused Her Stroke?

"It is with heavy hearts that we confirm the passing today of Katie May – mother, daughter, sister, friend, businesswoman, model and social media star – after suffering a catastrophic stroke caused by a blocked carotid artery on Monday," the statement reads.
Wrong, a blocked carotid artery does not directly cause a stroke, if a complete Circle of Willis exists such blockage is no problem at all.
"Pinched a nerve in my neck on a photoshoot and got adjusted this morning. It really hurts!"
If adjusted means a chiropractic adjustment, that is likely the smoking gun.
Tragically, sources believe the 34-year-old model did NOT actually pinch a nerve, but instead tore the carotid artery in her neck.
Physicians told her family members that this tear caused a blood clot ... which broke off and caused her stroke on Monday.
This throwing of the clot is the reason for the stroke.
