Stroke: Improving stroke care in the ER

This is so f*cking bad. Everyone is just trying to improve the status quo. tPA at 12% efficacy is a failure. Nothing on  these 31 hyperacute possibilities I'm going to insist my doctor give me the first week. 
Can't anyone rub two neurons together and maybe get a spark of intelligence? 
If this is a sign of improvement any future strokies will truly be victims.
These idiots are living under rocks and are not looking at the failures in the existing stroke world. Nothing they talk about will solve the tsunami of stroke coming.

What can be done to improve stroke care in emergency departments with existing drugs and technologies? That's the question we put to three stroke neurologists -- Natalia Rost, MD, MPH, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston; M. Shazam Hussain, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland; and Jeffrey Saver, MD, of the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles -- whose answers included cutting door-to-needle times and regular meetings to review procedures.
