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.

New Horizons for Stroke Medicine: Understanding the Value of Social Media

Since you haven't found or contacted me your use of social media is appalling.  And since no stroke doctor, therapist, hospital or stroke board member has ever contacted me they are all failing at this social media thing.

Introduction

Social media (SM) has provided individuals and organizations with an openly accessible platform encouraging participation and engagement in different forms of media (blogs, photos, infographics, and videos). In the past decade, there has been an exponential increase in platforms supporting user-driven content all encouraging differing degrees of SM interaction. Despite the initial SM revolution being based on social interaction, increasingly medical professionals are harboring such streams of communication to further medical knowledge and develop professional networks. An example of a SM platform is Twitter, a well-established microblogging tool,1 which supports communities2 of medical professionals interacting regularly. Importantly, data support an increasing coverage of biomedical literature on Twitter (≈10% of all published literature).3 Stroke medicine is constantly evolving to adapt to new technologies, which have supported new therapies and new diagnostic tools. However, little is known about the benefit of new technologies to our ways of communicating. In this article, we discuss how stroke trainees in particular could benefit from using SM to communicate and improve their educational, professional, and academic development. Furthermore, we provide for the first time Twitter analytic data from an international stroke trainee-based meeting to demonstrate real-world value to trainees and importantly organizations.

Benefits to Patients

In the past decade, several medical and surgical specialties have developed international SM platforms to disseminate a variety of professional and patient relevant outputs. These include online journal clubs, anonymized cases, and patient-friendly information. Interestingly, patients seem to value online health communities in which both physicians and patients participate. The benefits are colocated information from both medical experts and experiential experts. In an online 95 stroke patient community, patients’ reasons for use of such a platform included medical activities (gathering information about disease or being informed about scientific research …
