Deans' stroke musings: Patient Guide to Making Rehab Decisions (PDF) Learn what to expect in medical rehab, how to choose the right rehab facility and the questions you should ask your healthcare provider.

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.

Patient Guide to Making Rehab Decisions (PDF) Learn what to expect in medical rehab, how to choose the right rehab facility and the questions you should ask your healthcare provider.

You will notice this resource guide from the American Stroke Association is worthless.

Your doctor has nothing to do with your recovery.
Nothing specific is referred to.
NO protocols.
They don't tell you you only have a 10% chance of full recovery.

They left out the most important question to ask. 'How will you specifically get me 100% recovered? NO excuses. What is your plan to do that?' If the words, 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different' comes out of their mouth. You need to tell them, 'What the hell have you done to solve that problem?' Screaming at them is allowed, they need to feel embarrassed for not knowing one damn thing about your recovery.
