Are you ready to act F.A.S.T. with us? National Stroke Association

Another email from the NSA that totally misses the points.
1. We have no fast and objective way to diagnose stroke. So you can get them to the ER very fast and the doctors there may not be able to tell for sure what is going on.  One of these 17 ways still need to be be proven for fast and objective diagnosis.
2. tPA at 12% efficacy is a failure

But they need to issue press releases to give the impression of action without doing a damn thing.  
And they consider themselves a stroke association.

I suppose I shouldn't get mad at this anymore, it's not like they will ever stoop to actually listening to stroke survivors and caregivers.
