So you finally admit you're a complete failure at getting patients to 100% recovery! Are you paying them $1000 a dead neuron past the tPA administration or hemorrhage fix? Why not? You failed at your job of getting survivors recovered!
St. Luke’s Magic Valley adds new role to help stroke patients
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — It is National Stroke Awareness Month, and St. Luke’s Magic Valley has added a new position to help stroke patients.
That’s the focus of this week’s Fit and Well Idaho report.
The stroke nurse navigator helps with rehabilitation after a patient is discharged.
One in four stroke survivors will suffer another one, according to the American Stroke Association.
St. Luke’s said the primary goal of the stroke nurse navigator is to help prevent that from happening.
“Health care is incredibly complex, and patients are in the hospital for such a short amount of time, and we can only give so much information in the two or three days that they’re in the hospital,” said Maggie Gaynor, the stroke nurse navigator at St. Luke’s Magic Valley. “The benefit of this role is to really be a support person. Once the patient gets out to make sure that they understand all of the information that we flooded them with and then to help them, walk through things that come.”
St. Luke’s encourages people to get in contact with their primary care provider to discuss any risks that increase their risk of having a stroke.
