CentraCare-St. Cloud Hospital Earns Top Honors for Stroke Care

 

I wouldn't go there if all they are offering is 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!

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 your 'care'; 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.

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 'care' guidelines yourself. Survivors want RECOVERY not 'care'

CentraCare-St. Cloud Hospital Earns Top Honors for Stroke Care

(KNSI) – Two organizations have recognized CentraCare St. Cloud Hospital as one of the best at helping stroke patients survive.

The American Heart Association gave the hospital its Gold Plus rating. The distinction recognizes the commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized standards. It includes following research-based guidelines. According to a press release, that has led to more lives getting saved and reduced the number of patients ending up with disabilities. St. Cloud Hospital is one of three in Minnesota to earn the award.

Norway-based Det Norske Veritas Center bestowed the hospital with the Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification award. The honor is based on standards set by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association. It affirms that the health system addresses the full spectrum of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!), diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education.

According to CentraCare, these two distinctions mean that patients can receive the best level of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) possible without the need to be transferred to another facility. The medical provider also offers telestroke services to 20 sites in central Minnesota.
