Deans' stroke musings: Sunderland and South Tyneside(UK) hospital shake up set to affect 430,000 patients

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.

Sunderland and South Tyneside(UK) hospital shake up set to affect 430,000 patients - Stroke services also

You'll have to insist that RESULTS are used in determining the success of consolidation. Nothing else;
tPA efficacy
100% recovery
30day deaths
You can't let medical people and administrators dictate how to describe success. Get in there and start screaming bloody hell. Pay it forward please.

During the next 12 months, a new alliance between the neighbouring trusts will look at the provision of stroke services, trauma services, emergency surgical services and maternity services.
