I'm just a layperson trying to change the stroke world. As a stroke survivor and with 1 in 6 people getting a stroke according to the WSO there is an immediate need to challenge and change everything associated with stroke. I am passionate and will probably offend every neurologist and PMR doctor out there.

Medicine will need to follow the lead of Amy Farber. She co-invented a revolutionary web service with MIT Media Lab that enables patients to participate in the search for their own cures. For the past five years Farber has been battling not only her own disease but also the wall of resistance erected by those who believe that a patient can make about as much of a meaningful contribution to the process of scientific discovery as a laboratory rat.
Patients will be the future of strategy for their diseases. They have time and energy that doctors do not have. And they are smarter than those laboratory rats. Non-profits like Michael J. Fox foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Myelin Repair Foundation will be where donations go because they are doing actual work to combat the disease. Ones that are just press release organizations like the American Stroke Association, National Stroke Association and the World Stroke Organization will fall by the wayside.
Cheers.
