Deans' stroke musings: Stroke Symposium planned at St. Mary Medical Center

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.

Stroke Symposium planned at St. Mary Medical Center - Hobart,IN

Go there and keep asking the same questions.

1. How do I get to 100% recovery?

2. What are you SPECIFICALLY DOING to get survivors to 100% recovery? Laugh maniacally if they suggest guidelines, guidelines are worthless. You need EXACT PROTOCOLS.

3. How are you getting to 100% recovery when you are the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke. Make it personal to the speakers.

Hemming and hawing are not allowed. Neither is the craptastic saying; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Do not let them off the hook until they answer.

St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart

St. Mary Medical Center will host a symposium next month on the fifth leading cause death in the United States. The “Time is Brain” stroke symposium is scheduled for 8 a.m. to noon Oct. 13 at Community Healthcare System's medical center at 1500 S. Lake Park Ave., Hobart.

Free health screenings, vendor booths and continental breakfast will be offered at 8 a.m. Then, emergency medicine physician Lauren Rutili, neurologist Mark Simaga, and cardiologist Kais Yehyawi will make presentations on various topics and stroke patients will share personal stories of defeating the disease, which is the leading cause of disability in the United States.

The American Heart Association estimates 80% of strokes can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and controlling risk factors like quitting smoking.

"If you or someone you care for smokes or vapes, please seek help. St. Mary Medical Center offers cessation classes, and QuitNowIndiana.com has free tools to help you be successful," Comunity Health said in a press release. "Move more. Active adults are 25 to 30% less likely to suffer a stroke. Keep blood pressure in control. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the leading cause of strokes."
