Once again the medical world throws all the responsibility for prevention on the public. Nothing really for them to do at all. In the stroke world there is obviously no responsibility on their part to stop 30-day deaths because tPA takes care of everything. GAH!!!! Take some f*cking responsibility and solve the neuronal cascade of death.

Meeting target levels of six risk factors would bring the world close
to reducing premature mortality from the main noncommunicable diseases
(NCDs) by 25% by 2025 -- the so-called "25 x 25" goal -- a modeling
study showed.
Achieving targets for tobacco smoking, alcohol use,
salt intake, obesity, blood pressure, and blood glucose and diabetes
would reduce the risk of dying prematurely from cardiovascular diseases
(including stroke), chronic respiratory diseases, cancer, and diabetes
by 22% in men and by 19% in women by that date, according to Majid Ezzati, PhD, of Imperial College London, and colleagues.
I met all those targets and still had a stroke. The only thing that would have helped me was if doctors had a protocol that stopped the neuronal cascade of death after successfully giving me tPA in 90 minutes.
