Good Cop, Bad Cop

A good cop would praise the WSO for the milquetoast crap that came out of the World Stroke Organization Synergium in 2010. And then politely ask them to update it for 2014.
A good cop would praise the NSA for the wonderful press releases extolling their need for more money so they can deliver milksop prevention, F.A.S.T. and rehabilitation information. None of which directly addresses the real problem.
A good cop would praise the ASA for their setting up of stroke groups, so survivors can complain to each other rather than giving them solid information on how to recover.
A good cop would praise the Joint Commission for their delivery of standardized processes to hospital stroke departments that don't even measure the most important factors of how many strokies that come in survive, how many die in the first 30 days, how many get to 100% recovery.
A Bad Cop - me would keep on pointing out all the failings and keep on doing it until they stop all the stupid things they are doing and get to useful, actionable items that are in the stroke survivors best interest. All these groups really don't give a crap about survivors because this is just a job to them, not a passion. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Does no one feel shame in these organizations?
