Deans' stroke musings: Maimonides celebrates excellence in stroke care

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.

Maimonides celebrates excellence in stroke care

These people all need to be keel-hauled for ignoring 100% recovery goals and instead focusing on distraction from their failure in that goal.

A Borough Park hospital’s center for stroke patients has the highest survival rate of any stroke program in the country, according to a recent federal mortality report.
Maimonides Medical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center — located on 48th Street between Ninth and 10th avenues — includes physicians and nurses in emergency medicine, and offers neurosurgery, and rehabilitation medicine to treat Brooklyn’s stroke patients. According to the program’s director, stroke programs are more necessary than ever.
“A person suffers a stroke approximately every 40 seconds in the U.S.,” said Dr. Tony Qingliang Wang. “Someone dies from stroke every four minutes, and 80 percent of strokes can be prevented. So when it comes to diagnosis and treatment, every moment counts.”
The report’s finding is not the first time Maimonides’ stroke center has been recognized for its excellence. The stroke program also earned top honors from the American Stroke Association for its eighth consecutive year, a prestige one hospital executive held up as evidence of the medical center’s high standards.
“The outstanding care that is delivered demonstrates one of the many reasons why our hospital is among the Top 10 in the nation for overall clinical excellence,” said Kenneth D. Gibbs.
On July 15, local pols joined Maimonides doctors during the hospital’s “Stroke Awareness Flag-Raising,” during which doctors stressed the importance of acting fast when stroke symptoms occur, causing face-drooping, imbalance, loss of vision and slurred speech.
“If you suspect you or a loved one may be experiencing a stroke, phoning 911 immediately can make a big difference,” said Dr. Wang.
