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.

SGMC Receives National Recognition for Stroke Treatment

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us multiple times but never tell us how many 100% recovered.  You have to ask yourself why they are hiding their incompetency by not disclosing recovery results. ARE THEY THAT FUCKING BAD?

Anytime I see the word 'care' in stroke I know that we don't have the right goals anywhere in stroke. 100% recovery is the only goal in stroke. NOT 'care'.

 

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospital by firing the board of directors, you can't let incompetency continue for years at a time.

There is no quality here if you don't measure the right things.

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

  3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

 

You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.


 

In my opinion Get With the Guidelines allows stroke hospitals to continue with their tyranny of low expectations and justify their complete failure to get survivors 100% recovered. Prove me wrong, I dare you in my stroke addled mind. If your stroke hospital goal is not 100% recovery you don't have a functioning stroke hospital.

All you ever get from hospitals are that they are following 'Get With the Guidelines'; these are way too static to be of any use. With thousands of pieces of stroke research yearly it would take a Ph.D. level research analyst to keep up, create protocols, and train the doctors and therapists in their use. 

If your stroke hospital doesn't have that, you don't have a well functioning stroke hospital, you have a dinosaur. 

Read the guidelines yourself here:  You'll see they say they improve outcomes but give no proof that it is happening. I find nothing in here that states they are even measuring results or recovery. Since neither seems to occur, it is in my opinion invalid recognition.

“What's measured, improves.” So said management legend and author Peter F. Drucker

SGMC Receives National Recognition for Stroke Treatment

Posted on: July 11th, 2022
Members of SGMC’s stroke team Tami Bihl, Phillip Cooper, Ashlea Blevins, and Dr. Brian Dawson accept the 2022 Get with the Guidelines award.

South Georgia Medical Center has received the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines award for excellence in stroke treatment for the ninth consecutive year. SGMC has the area’s only certified stroke center and received the Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Honor Roll Elite Plus recognition.   

To achieve and/or maintain this level of achievement, SGMC must demonstrate commitment to following up-to-date, research-based guidelines for the treatment of stroke which leads to more lives saved, shorter recovery times, and fewer readmissions to the hospital.   

Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke and in 2020, 1 in 6 deaths from cardiovascular disease was due to stroke. Studies show patients recover much quicker and are able to go back to healthy, normal lives when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines.  

Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart and Stroke Associations to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence and research.   

SGMC Neurologist and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian Dawson shared that it’s important for the community to understand the signs and symptoms of stroke to further enhance outcomes. “Time is critical when identifying and treating a stroke. Calling 911, allows our Emergency Medical Services teams to activate early interventions to quicken care. An easy way to learn the signs of stroke is by using the acrostic B.E.F.A.S.T.”  

B- Balance Problems  

E- Eyesight Issues  

F- Facial Drooping  

A- Arm Weakness  

S- Speech Difficulty  

T- Time, Call 911
