The Honor Roll of Best Hospitals 2014-15

If we had anything approaching a great stroke association these hospitals would also be ranked on stroke statistics; 30-day deaths, 100% recovery, tPA complete success rate, accurate stroke diagnosis upon first entry to the system. But since we have crap for stroke associations each individual will need to call up their local hospitals and do all this analysis and comparison work themselves. Good luck and stop swearing at me for pointing out how fucking badly our stroke associations and stroke hospitals are run.
