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.

Mercy Announces Plans For New Rehab Hospital

Unless YOU get directly in their faces and DEMAND THE GOAL OF 100% RECOVERY, you will get all these failures of the status quo in stroke.  Your responsibility, your stroke medical 'professionals' are ok with the failures of the status quo, you shouldn't be and should be extremely vocal about that. To the cringing of them while you scream bloody murder in their faces about their incompetency.

13 stroke problems with no cure.

Only 10% fully recover.

12% tPA efficacy for full recovery.

 

 

Mercy Announces Plans For New Rehab Hospital 

Mercy South in South St. Louis County has announced plans for a $37 million rehabilitation hospital, the third major project since Mercy began operating the facility three years ago, according to published reports.
The hospital — on the site of the old St. Anthony’s Medical Center — also is nearing completion on a $54 million cancer center, and is preparing to spend $18 million to completely rebuild its labor and delivery floor.
Mercy Hospital South already offers rehabilitation services, but the current, 49-bed unit typically only serves about half that number in order to provide patients with their own rooms, the hospital said in a statement.
The new center will allow the hospital to offer private rooms and more comfortable experiences for patients recovering from serious ailments and procedures, and will give it the ability to serve more patients overall.
The new two-story, 50-bed facility will have one unit for general acute rehabilitation and another catering to stroke patients.(NOTHING about delivering results.)
The hospital will serve patients with complex medical needs, who need 24-hour nursing care and close physician oversight.
Dave Dillon, vice president of public and media relations for the Missouri Hospital Association, described rehabilitation centers as a “bridge” for patients, often between surgery and home.
Rehabilitation hospitals can be valuable to communities, he said, because they allow patients to recover near their home and support system, regardless of where they underwent the initial procedure.
Mercy South has not yet decided what to do with the space it currently uses for rehabilitation, but Page said that the hospital is already growing and expanding a number of its services.
Mercy is working with civil engineers to choose the best location on campus for the new structure. It aims to open the new facility in early 2022.
In 2017, the independent St. Anthony’s Medical Center joined Mercy — one of the nation’s largest Catholic health systems. St. Anthony’s had faced financial losses and turnover in management.
The cancer center will include the Rooney Breast Center, which will offer mammography, a breast care counseling, bone density screenings and other services. The center — a two-story, 70,000-square-foot facility — will begin offering services on June 1.
In the spring, Mercy plans to begin a complete rebuild of the labor and delivery floor, including a neonatal intensive care unit, a prenatal center, triage rooms, operating rooms and labor and delivery rooms. The unit is slated to open in mid-2021.
