Deans' stroke musings: Proposal to centralise stroke rehabilitation beds to create 'centre of excellence'

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.

Proposal to centralise stroke rehabilitation beds to create 'centre of excellence' - Abingdon, England

YOU are going to have to scream at them for 'hoping' to improve recovery. Fuck it all, if they don't have a goal and results for 100% recovery they should all be fired. This tyranny of low expectations is not helping stroke patients recover completely.

A HEALTH trust has proposed to centralise its stroke rehabilitation beds in a move to provide patients with a dedicated ward.
The decision by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust will see the 10 rehabilitation beds in Witney Community Hospital move to Abingdon Community Hospital.
By combining both sets of 10 beds into one 20-bed ward, the trust hopes to improve patients’ recovery.
Speaking at its board meeting today, chief executive Stuart Bell of Oxford Health said by creating a ‘centre of excellence’, he would hope to appeal to the desperately needed work force.
He added: “By having a ward completely dedicated to stroke rehabilitation perhaps we could appeal to and retain more nurses.
“It is better than them being expected to work on part of a ward with lots of other things going on.”
