Every second counts

Another email from the National Stroke Association. This is precisely why they will never become a great stroke association. They push all the responsibility for recognizing stroke and getting yourself to a hospital that can't with any degree of assurance prevent disability. They are a one-trick pony and stroke needs dozens of arrows in their quiver.
Like these objective ways of diagnosing stroke. one of these 17 ways.
Specific risk reduction steps like these 11 referenced and specific ideas.
These treatments in the first week. My 30 actions in the immediate aftermath of my next stroke.
Do you see any of that from this organization that has hundreds of employees, doctors, and Ph.Ds employed?  Damn I'll be extremely arrogant and say I'm smarter than all of these employees combined
Someday Mr. Baranski you will talk to me and you will have a lot to answer for on the sad state of stroke research/rehab.

Dear Dean,  When stroke hits, every second counts. On average, it takes between three and six hours for someone to get to the emergency room once he or she starts showing signs of a stroke. But for many, immediate  medical care can be the  difference between life and death. Would you recognize stroke warning signs right away? Or—like too many— would you be left not knowing that you have a potentially life-threatening situation on your hands? You can make a life-saving difference for yourself or another person—  you just need to know  how to act FAST. F = FACE Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A = ARMS Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S = SPEECH Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange? T = TIME If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to  call 9-1-1 or get to the nearest stroke center or hospital. At National Stroke Association, we are committed to reducing the incidence and impact of stroke. The life-saving information available in this email is so important, we’ve made it available on convenient wallet-sized cards. This wallet card is an easy way to make sure you’re ready to act FAST when stroke strikes. Download your free FAST wallet card today and make sure you’re ready to act FAST when stroke hits. The more knowledge we share, the more lives we will save.  Together, we can stop stroke. Thank you for standing with us and thousands of stroke champions dedicated to raising stroke awareness. Sincerely, Jim Baranski Chief Executive Officer National Stroke Association
