Deans' stroke musings: Tired of battling stroke paralysis, elderly couple ends lives

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.

VIJAYAWADA: In a tragic incident, an elderly couple committed suicide in a private hospital by consuming pesticide on Wednesday. The reason for their extreme step is said to be health issues as they left a suicide note saying no one is responsible for their death.
Thummalapalli Ramakrishna (60) and his wife Satya Naga Rani (58) were taken to Vijayawada Institute of Neuro Sciences (VINS) at Nakkal Road on January 24. Both the wife and the husband were suffering with health ailments and were paralysed after brain stroke.

Ramakrishna used to run a hardware shop and the couple has two sons and a daughter. Three of them were married and happily settled. About two years ago, the couple who were already mired in health complications decided to live in a peaceful location and joined Ganapati Sacchidananda Asram in Machilipatnam.

About six months ago, Rani suffered brain stroke. She was treated in Vijayawada and since then their elder son Rajesh Kumar was looking after them at his residence. On January 24 Rani again suffered brain stroke and was paralysed. She was rushed to VINS hospital. She was in ICU for three days and was later shifted to general ward. The doctors said that she would be discharged from the hospital on Wednesday.

There is no cure for paralysis stroke. This is unfortunate. Living as disabled person in old age is hell. There are a few centres, like one in Ankola, who give herbal medicines to cure stroke.

On Tuesday night after having dinner, Rajesh left for home while Ramakrishna accompanied his wife. They consumed pesticide after everyone left. The hospital staff declared them dead on Wednesday morning and informed family members as well as the police.

Suryaraopet sub-inspector K Giribabu visited the spot and recovered a suicide note. The couple wrote that they were tired of fighting with paralysis which is the only reason for their extreme step and no one is responsible for their action. The police registered a case under Section 174 of the CrPC and handed over the bodies to the kin after post-mortem.
