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.

‘RBH team saved my life': stroke service named one of the best in the country

Nothing in the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme seems to measure recovery results. So I don't see how anything in here can be rated any higher than a complete failure.

THE stroke service at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital has been named one of the best in the country.
The unit was placed in the top five per cent across England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme, which rates services on a scale from A-E.
RBH was one of only 25 trusts, out of 213 total, to achieve an A rating and were in the top 11 trusts overall.
Among the unit's recent patients is Szczepan Kobryn, a 36-year-old construction project manager who was alone at home when he had his stroke.
"I remember every minute of that day as was awake and conscious all the time, I just was unable to move or talk although I knew exactly what was happening to me," he said.
"My eyes were burning but I did not feel any pain and for four hours I was unable to move or to call anyone as my phone was too far to reach although it was just one metre from my bed."
Szczepan was eventually found by his business partner who contacted paramedics, and he was taken to RBH where he spent six days on the unit. He has since been able to return to work.
"I received very good, effective care and support all the way through my time in hospital from a very professional team," he said.
Who gives a crap about services? Survivors want to know about your results.

"I would like to thank the hospital team who saved my life and helped me with my recovery."
The audit reviews performance for 44 key indicators which follow the entire 'inpatient pathway' - from admission through to discharge.
Factors include the length of time between a patient with a suspected stroke arriving in hospital and having a brain scan, how quickly patients are transferred onto the stroke unit and the amount of specialist therapy they receive.
Stroke services manager Claire Stalley said “We are absolutely delighted with our latest results, and extremely proud of the service that we provide.
"The stroke team has worked extremely hard over the past 12 to 18 months implementing a number of improvement initiatives to ensure that we are consistently able to provide the highest standard of quality stroke care."
