McLaren Stroke Network sites earn national recognitions for stroke care proficiency

 

 And McLaren conglomorate owns a major hospital in Lansing, MI; this is one of my local hospitals and the other is Sparrow, I guess I'm screwed if I have another stroke.

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'

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

The latest invalid chest thumping here:

McLaren Stroke Network sites earn national recognitions for stroke care proficiency

Routinely recognized for its care(NOT RECOVERY!), the McLaren Stroke Network, with programs at multiple McLaren Health Care hospitals throughout the state, has again earned several national distinctions from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

An acknowledgement of the program’s proficiency in its care(NOT RECOVERY!) of stroke patients, honors are achieved by consistently meeting national quality measurements.

“Beginning with the development of the McLaren Stroke Network in 2015, we have worked hard to establish a fantastic team throughout the state who share a dedication to be the frontline of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) and provide patients with advanced stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) right when they need it,” said Dr. Aniel Majjhoo, interventional neurologist and medical director of the McLaren Stroke Network. “These recognitions validate their effort in the service they provide, truly making them assets to their communities.”

The fifth leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability, nearly 800,000 strokes occur in the United States every year, with 60% of them occurring in people under age 70.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and diabetes are all leading risk factors for stroke. One in every three Americans currently lives with one of these risk factors.
