Deans' stroke musings: Two very simple questions to determine your stroke providers competence

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.

Two very simple questions to determine your stroke providers competence

For your stroke hospital.

Does it have a stroke support group? If yes, that means they are completely failing at getting most survivors 100% recovered. They have accepted the tyranny of low expectations as gospel and are doing nothing to change the failed status quo. There are NO EXCUSES ALLOWED. They will use this fuckingly lazy statement to justify complete failure; 'All strokes are different, All stroke recoveries are different.' Laugh in their faces, rather maniacally. 'I'm supposed to accept that as your excuse for not getting me recovered?'

For your stroke doctor.

What prescriptions did your write to my therapists? OT, PT, ST?

If E.T.(Evaluate and Treat) that means your doctor knows nothing about stroke rehab, and is taking NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LACK OF RECOVERY.

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.

I shouldn't presume to know more than all these medically trained persons, especially since I'm not medically trained. You need zero medical training to evaluate your doctor and hospital, just common sense at looking at their results.

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. I expect all doctors should know more about stroke than you or me.

If this doesn't get me flamed and hate mail it means your stroke providers aren't even following stroke survivor writings to see what needs improving. Another failure point on their side. Flame away, I will respond factually and in spades.
