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.

UVA Stroke Center earns national certification - CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.

You'll notice that nowhere in here do they refer to RESULTS. Excellent stroke care means absolutely nothing. We don't give a shit about care, care and service doesn't solve any of the problems in stroke  or get you to 100% recovery. Call that leader - Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, University of Virginia (


Richard P. Shannon, MD

general number  ( 434.924.2946  and demand to know what the RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery, rehab protocol efficacy.

Big f*cking whoopee.

You can check out Joint Commission standards here:
 I saw absolutely nothing about what should be done the first week or anything about measuring 30-day deaths and 100% recovery.  God, these people are worse than worthless. Complacent good-for-nothings.



    
The puffery article here:

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (NEWSPLEX) -- The Stroke Center at the University of Virginia Health System has been certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center.
According to a release, the certification comes from the Joint Commission, an accrediting group for hospitals that works with the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.
The UVA Stroke Center is one of just three in Virginia to earn the national certification, which follows a site visit by surveyors measuring how well the center complies with stroke care standards and using evidence-based guidelines to provide care.
The release says about three percent of hospitals across the country earn this certification.
"This is a tremendous honor for our Stroke Center physicians and team that highlights their dedication to providing excellent care whenever it is needed, using the most advanced procedures and imaging," said Pamela M. Sutton-Wallace, the CEO of the UVA Health System.
According to the release, the services available at a Comprehensive Stroke Center include a dedicated intensive care unit that is staffed around the clock, care for patients with strokes caused by blocked blood vessels in the brain and by brain bleeding, advanced imaging to help with diagnosis, quick delivery of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator or tPA that is used to break up clots, and advanced surgical procedures such as coiling and clipping to treat aneurysms that may cause strokes due to bleeding in the brain.
Such centers can also help coordinate care for patients after they are discharged from the hospital and conduct research to help improve care for stroke patients.
