The experiences of stroke survivors, their families and unpaid carers regarding goal setting within stroke rehabilitation: a systematic review protocol

This review will be useless since survivors goals are not acknowledged. 100% recovery is the goal, yet our therapists and doctors do nothing to get us there. Existing therapy is not enough- only 10% fully recover. Your doctors and therapists should be acknowledging that they are failing stroke survivors and point to a Manhattan style project to solve all the problems in stroke. But they won't because that would be hard work and it is much easier to just stick your head in the sand and state this fuckingly stupid statement; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different.
