Abstract: Article reflects the author’s views of the current state of medical knowledge in stroke recovery and her own professional experience and biases after treating many patients with various degrees of recovery from stroke. Many factors influence what and how physicians communicate with patients after stroke. Physicians have a responsibility to examine their medical decisions and prognostication regarding each stroke patient. They must understand how many factors come into play in decisions regarding care, including perspectives that reflect the specific training of physicians in various specialties. How the physician responds to the patient with a stroke is highly individual. The more familiar the physician is with stroke recovery and the more time he or she has for individualized and less automatic approaches, the less likely decisions will be reflexive, based on bias.
Descriptor Terms: CHRONIC ILLNESS, HOLISM, PHILOSOPHY, REHABILITATION, STROKE.
