Ask your doctor, 'How would you recover 100% from your stroke?

Don't just take your doctors pronouncements without questioning them.
And we are in an argument with our doctors even if they do not acknowledge it. The argument is 'Why do only 10% of stroke survivors get to almost 100% recovery?'

The Secret To Winning An Argument Is Ridiculously Simple

Those in the second group did something subtly different. Rather than provide reasons, they were asked to explain how the policy they were advocating would work. They were asked to trace, step by step, from start to finish, the causal path from the policy to the effects it was supposed to have.

 

If you want to change someone's opinion, ask them how they would do something instead of why

If you hear, 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'  then you have a doctor that needs to explain precisely step by step what the hell that means.  And don't let them buffalo you with bullshit or large equivocating words. What should come out of their mouths is, 'I don't know but these are some possibilities that might help. We have these initiatives being researched.' Don't let them get away with the simplistic stupidity of 'We need to prevent strokes in the first place.'

As Donald Rumsfeld said, "As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time." Bullshit, you change the army and equipment to make it better. The exact same thing applies to your stroke doctor.

Are they as incompetent/not willing to work to make things better as Donald Rumsfeld?
