Mark Deno Named CEO of Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital - Denver, CO

If you know him or go to this hospital. Ask these simple questions. And demand answers.
We have to start putting pressure on hospital presidents and stroke department heads because nothing will get done without someone screaming about it.

Problems in stroke;

1. There is no fast, easy and objective way to diagnose a stroke. Maybe when the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize is available. A number of friends have waited hours in ERs until stroke symptoms have visibly manifested themselves.

2. Only 10% get to almost full recovery.

3. 12% tPA efficacy

4. Nothing being done to stop the neuronal cascade of death during the first week.

5. No one knows how to cure spasticity.
6.  No one knows how to cure fatigue.
7. F.A.S.T is actually a failure because even at its best tPA is only delivered to 33% of those eligible and then of those that get it  it only works to completely reverse the stroke 12% of the time.
