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 Stroke Center Ranked #1 in the Nation for Patient Survival - Brooklyn, NY

Big fucking whoopee.

'Survival' NOT 100% RECOVERY. And they tout useless stuff like Get With The Guidelines and other processes rather than RESULTS. So they got you surviving the stroke but say nothing about your full recovery chances. Good but misleading PR. This is not something to crow about. But they do 'care' about you 5 times.

The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Maimonides Medical Center has the highest survival rate of any hospital stroke program in the US, according to the most recent mortality report published by the federal government.
“Our nationally acclaimed Stroke Center remains committed to achieving superior stroke patient outcomes,” says Kenneth D. Gibbs, President and CEO of Maimonides Medical Center. “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.”
Led by Program Director Dr. Tony Qingliang Wang, the fully accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center at Maimonides is comprised of a distinguished team of specialists working together to provide exceptional care. Physicians and nurses in emergency medicine, interventional neuroradiology, vascular and neurosurgery, neurocritical care and rehabilitation medicine collaborate to deliver a full range of technologically advanced diagnostic and treatment services to all patients.
“As the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, stroke impacts a significant part of our population,” explains Dr. Wang. “A person suffers a stroke approximately every 40 seconds in the US, someone dies from stroke ever four minutes, and 80 percent of strokes can be prevented. So when it comes to diagnosis and treatment, every moment counts.”
In addition to the superb results reported by the federal government, the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Maimonides has earned American Stroke Association top honors for the eighth consecutive year, receiving the Get With The Guidelines®– Stroke Gold Plus Achievement Award and the Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite Plus – the ASA’s highest level of recognition for stroke care excellence.
Dr. Wang joined Mr. Gibbs, State Assembly Member Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach) and City Council Member Dr. Mathieu Eugene (D-Flatbush, East Flatbush, Prospect Lefferts Gardens) at the hospital’s recent Stroke Awareness Flag-Raising. He stressed the importance of acting quickly when witnessing possible signs of a stroke: “If you suspect you or a loved one may be experiencing a stroke, phoning 911 immediately can make a big difference.”
Since blood flow to part of the brain is cut off during a stroke, acting fast can help minimize the risk of brain damage and ensure care is received promptly.
The National Stroke Association provides a useful acronym to help identify stroke symptoms and respond quickly, “BE FAST.” In the event someone might be experiencing a stroke, be sure to observe these crucial signs:
