Deans' stroke musings: Hospitals fail stroke survivors: report

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.

Hospitals fail stroke survivors: report - Australia

Of course they do. And you even got the failure points wrong. Doctors are failing stroke patients for these reasons:
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.

Hospitals fail stroke survivors: report - Australia

Australian hospitals are failing stroke survivors with poor rehabilitation services, a new report says.

The Stroke Foundation has released the 2016 Rehabilitation Services Report, which says stroke patients in Australia are being denied the best care.(There is no best care, you don't have ANY stroke protocols)
Key findings include that half of stroke patients are discharged from hospital without information about the cause of their stroke, only half are assessed for mental wellbeing and one in five are discharged without getting medication essential to preventing further strokes.
"We know what good care looks like but sadly too few patients are experiencing it," Stroke Foundation chief executive Sharon McGowan said.
The foundation is calling on federal and state governments to invest in quality stroke rehabilitation services across Australia. That would first of all mean firing every stroke doctor and stroke hospital staff for incompetence.
