World Stroke Day - Oct. 29

Big
F*cking  Whoopee
Just another day to put out press releases rather than doing the difficult tasks of figuring out how to stop the neuronal cascade of death. That tipping point is still out there for stroke.

This is taken from a American Stroke Association email.

Let's come together on World Stroke Day (Oct. 29) to raise awareness that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. Stroke is the No. 4 killer in the United States. Each year 15 million people worldwide experience a stroke, which claims a life every six seconds.

Join us Oct. 28 for a Google+ Hangout with AHA/ASA and AARP experts to learn about caring for stroke survivors. Learn more



Largely preventable - Maybe, with the generic admonitions like these   rather than specific ones like these 11 referenced and specific ideas.
Treatable - Completely wrong, the 12% efficacy of tPA and non-treatment of the neuronal cascade of death points to failure to me.
Beatable - Bullsheet, Only 10% fully recover, very poor odds.
