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.

Mercyhealth receives most prestigious stroke certification in the country

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?

  1. tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
  2. 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
  3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

I absolutely hate invalid chest thumping like this. 

Mercyhealth receives most prestigious stroke certification in the country

ROCKFORD (WREX) — Mercyhealth in Rockford now boasts a new certification and it’s the most prestigious in the country when it comes to stroke healthcare.
Mercyhealth is now certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center. The certification is based on standards set by the American Stroke Association and the Brain Attack Coalition.
The certification means Mercyhealth addresses the full spectrum of stroke care: diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education.
According to the American Stroke Association, an American has a stroke every 40 seconds in the U.S. and it’s the leading cause of disability in adults.
“People don’t have to suffer the disability from strokes any longer,” Mercyhealth President & CEO Javon Bea said. “That’s a major advancement for the Rockford area.”
Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville and Javon Bea Hospital–Rockton in Rockford recently received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines® Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. It recognizes both hospitals’ commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment.
Rockton also received the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus award and Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center received the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite award.
“It is an honor to be part of a team and program that provides the highest level of care for stroke patients,” said Dr. Shawn Wallery, Mercyhealth Medical Director, Neurovascular and Stroke. “As a physician, my number one goal is assuring patients are treated with the most advanced research proven methods.”
In March 2018, OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center received the same certification as a Comprehensive Stroke Center.
