Deans' stroke musings: Stroke ward tailor-made to help patient recovery

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Stroke ward tailor-made to help patient recovery

The key words that still signify this is a failure are: 'care' and 'help'! Both should be replaced with deliver recovery!

Stroke ward tailor-made to help patient recovery

A new stroke unit at the Isle of Man's main hospital achieves "a long dream" to help(NOT DELIVER) recovery times, the team responsible for patient care(NOT RECOVERY) and rehabilitation said.Situated on Ward 4 at Noble's Hospital, the unit includes therapeutic spaces, a kitchen and a gym, along with a redeveloped courtyard to "support rehabilitation and outdoor mobility".Lead Stroke Nurse for Manx Care, Jill Horsey, said the expanded facilities were important because a stroke can "strike suddenly", leaving patients "no time to adapt"."Accessible, specialised stroke unit care(NOT RECOVERY)is proven to have the greatest impact on recovery," she said.The changes at Noble's Hospital were part of a reconfiguration of ward space which has also seen major changes to gynaecological care.A stroke is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow stops to part of the brain.The condition can cause issues with speech and movement, which can take a long time to recover from.Manx Care said the changes to the stroke ward will enable patients to "regain strength and independence through tailored rehabilitation activities".The unit had been designed to deliver "high-quality stroke care(NOT RECOVERY), with a focus on both acute treatment and ongoing rehabilitation", the health care provider added. Ms Horsey said the new "exciting" unit "offers spacious indoor and outdoor rehabilitation areas designed to meet the needs of those affected by stroke".The creation of the new facilities was supported by the Manx Stroke Foundation, the Friends of Noble's Hospital, and the Noble's Hospital Charitable Trustees.
