With this diagram from the WHO stroke should have hit the tipping point for action years ago. But because we have the WSO doing basically nothing stroke survivors for the next 50 years will be screwed. Everyone goes down the prevention path(eat healthy, control blood pressure, control cholesterol). All good but if they would just take the blinders off maybe one of these 177 possibilities needing research would demonstratively save more lives and disability. Will no one rub two neurons together and think?
