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.

Tobey Hospital nationally recognized for “excellence” in stroke care

Anytime I see 'care' in any stroke press release I know the stroke medical world is not willing to disclose actual results because they are so fucking bad, it wouldn't look good, so misdirection is used. Don't fall for that misdirection!

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?


Three measurements will tell me if the stroke medical world is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospitals 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(whomever 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 this partnership 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 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 up on the guidelines yourself.

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

The latest invalid chest thumping here:

 

Tobey Hospital nationally recognized for “excellence” in stroke care

Tobey Hospital is among three Southcoast Health hospitals to be recognized nationally for “excellent” stroke care in 2023, according to Southcoast officials.

The hospital received the following awards: Get With The Guidelines — Stroke Gold Plus, Target: Stroke Honor Roll and Elite with a Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll.

According to Southcoast officials, the American Heart Association holds the “Get With the Guidelines — Stroke” awards in order to recognize hospitals that work on improving and promoting “consistent adherence to the latest scientific treatment of stroke.”

A stroke is a medical condition in which a person experiences a brain bleed or blood supply is blocked from reaching the brain, according to the Center for Disease Control. Every 40 seconds in the U.S. someone has a stroke, with more than 795,000 people experiencing one every year.

Strokes remain the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the country, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Tobey and the other two Southcoast hospitals were also recognized by the U.S. News and World Report as “high performing” in five procedures and conditions this year, including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, colon cancer surgery as well as providing in maternity care access services.

“We are honored to once again earn this recognition from the American Heart Association and the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program for clinical excellence in stroke care across the region,” said Daniel Sacchetti, stroke director for Southcoast Health. 

“This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our patients and community,” Sacchetti said. “I am tremendously proud of the entire Southcoast team of physicians, providers, nurses and staff who provide top-notch stroke care every day.”  

Southcoast Health officials recommend everyone learn and know the key signs and symptoms of a stroke. One way to remember the signs is through the acronym “F.A.S.T.”:

          Face: Does the face look uneven? Ask the person to smile 

          Arm: Does one arm drift down? Ask the person to raise both arms 

          Speech: Does the speech sound strange? Ask the person to repeat a phrase 

          Time: If you observe these symptoms, call 9-1-1
