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! By touting 'care' they are not telling you about results or recovery which survivors want! Survivors don't care about door to needle time; you FUCKING BLITHERING IDIOTS; they want 100% recovery! why aren't you providing that?
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.
-
tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
-
30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
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.

The
Eastern Health Box Hill Stroke Unit is being internationally recognised
for meeting the highest standards in stroke treatment and care.
The World Stroke Organization (WSO) Angels has awarded the hospital WSO Gold Status.
Eastern Health Stroke Neurologist, Philip Choi said the award is an honour for the entire team who are known for having the nation’s fastest door-to-needle time.
“We are delighted to achieve WSO Gold Status and be recognised for our ongoing efforts to provide the community with the best stroke care possible,” Dr Choi said.
“This award acknowledges our commitment to excellence and the can-do attitude from everyone in the Stroke Team.”
Eastern Health Acute Stroke Nurse, Tanya Frost highlighted the performance of the team at the Box Hill Campus.
“Our greatest strength is our front end; our door to needle time, which is the time that the patient presents until the time they get thrombolysis and our door in, door out time. We're national leaders in both those times.
“We're very proud to say that we're the fastest in the country and are able to set that standard to ensure that patients receive excellent, prompt expert care, to aid the best possible recovery post stroke.”.
“We know that what we do today makes a massive difference to the patient and how they recover from their stroke,” Ms Frost explained.
The performance of the Hospital’s stroke unit was assessed as part of the Angels Initiative’s awards. The awards are given according to a set of stroke care key performance indicators. For WSO Gold status, this includes a target of restoring blood-flow to the brain to more than 50 per cent of eligible patients within 60 minutes of their hospital arrival.
This year alone, Eastern Health Box Hill has treated 209 stroke patients.
To achieve WSO Gold status, a hospital must demonstrate a range of outcomes, including optimum time to treatment, coordinated care, appropriate scans and screening, and ensuring patients are discharged from hospital on medications to minimise the risk of further stroke.
The Angels initiative, a partnership between the World Stroke Organization, European Stroke Organisation and Boehringer Ingelheim.
