If anyone tells you stroke is treatable tell them they know fucking nothing about stroke and to get the hell out of the medical profession and let competent people solve all the problems in stroke.
1. 12% full tPA efficacy is a failure.
2. 10% full recovery is a failure.
3. No publicly available stroke protocols with efficacy is a failure.
4. Nothing to cure spasticity is a failure.
5. Nothing to cure fatigue is a failure.
6. Nothing to stop the neuronal cascade of death in the first week is a failure.
7. Not able to objectively and accurately identify stroke in the ER is a failure.
8. Nothing to prevent dementia is a failure.
Stop with the 'happy talk' and face reality. Stroke is a complete failure and has been for decades.
It is absolutely ridiculous to claim stroke is treatable!
ReplyDeleteSome people do get better, but little or no evidence of cause and effect of treatments, since most recovery is spontaneous.
This is the worst problem, no one is stroke even acknowledges that there are problems in stroke. Obviously with no identified problems there is nothing to do but the status quo.
