Thompson Hospital Earns National Recognition for Excellence in 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'

Thompson Hospital Earns National Recognition for Excellence in Stroke Care

F.F. Thompson Hospital, an affiliate of UR Medicine, has been honored with the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke GoldPlus quality achievement award. This recognition highlights the hospital’s dedication to providing high-quality stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) based on nationally recognized, research-driven guidelines, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing disability.

Stroke ranks as the fifth leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in the United States. The condition occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain becomes blocked or bursts, leading to the death of brain cells. Early detection and treatment are critical to enhancing survival rates, minimizing long-term effects, and speeding up recovery.

The Get With The Guidelines program, developed by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, is designed to help hospitals nationwide ensure their stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) practices align with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines. By consistently following these guidelines, hospitals like Thompson can reduce the long-term impacts of strokes and save lives.

“Thompson is committed to improving patient care(NOT RECOVERY!) by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Alice Taylor, Thompson Health’s Quality Assurance Stroke/Sepsis Coordinator. “The Get With The Guidelines program enables our teams to apply proven knowledge daily, helping patients recover more effectively and live longer, healthier lives.”

Thompson Hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite award, recognizing its success in minimizing the time between a stroke patient’s arrival and the administration of thrombolytic therapy. Additionally, the hospital earned the Target: Type 2 Diabetes™ Honor Roll award, ensuring that stroke patients with Type 2 diabetes receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care(NOT RECOVERY!).
