White House Invites Michael J. Fox to Reflect on Research and Hope - Why isn't stroke there?

Stroke has vastly more people affected by it than Parkinsons yet our stroke associations are so fucking incompetent they can't get any visibility. I'd say that is because they keep saying everything is coming up roses because of F.A.S.T. and tPA. When the truth is that everything in stroke is a failure and they refuse to acknowledge that.

Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year.
800,000 Americans have a stroke each year. 13.3 times more stroke patients each year than Parkinsons. Yet our stroke associations have no clue how to get stroke to the tipping point.
