Deans' stroke musings: The top stroke doctor who became the patient

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.

The top stroke doctor who became the patient - Udo Kischka, UK

Now I expect him to realize the absolute failures in all of stroke rehab. You in the UK should shortly see real leadership and the creation of a strategy to get survivors 100% recovered. If not, he is not a top stroke doctor. I take no prisoners in trying to solve stroke.

The top stroke doctor who became the patient

As a neurologist specialising in strokes, Udo Kischka should have acted on the first signs that he’d had a bleed on the brain. He didn’t, he tells Hilary Rose

Helen Kennerley knew instantly that something was wrong when she woke at 7am and found that her husband, Udo Kischka, wasn’t lying beside her.

A consultant neurologist who specialised in stroke rehabilitation, Professor Kischka, then 62, had arrived back from work the night before, having had a bit of a turn while running for his train. He felt a pain in the right side of his head and noticed a mild weakness and loss of sensation in his left arm and leg.
