Yes, we need this but not what is normally thought of as stroke awareness.
We need to publicly and forcefully make the world aware that everything in stroke is a failure.
Shout it from the rooftops. Don't let any apologists tell you the craptastic answer of 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Anyone who uses that term should not be listened to.
1. There is no fast, easy and objective way to diagnose a stroke.
2. tPA may save your life with tPA having a 88% failure rate for full recovery.
3. Your neurologist doesn't have any concrete stroke protocols to save all the neurons that are dying in the first week.
4. Your neurologist or physiatrist doesn't have any clue about how to get you to full recovery. (Ask them exactly how to do it), you'll get excuses.
5. Only 10% get to full recovery..
6. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
7. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
8. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
9. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
10. No published stroke protocols.
11. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.
Everything in stroke is a complete failure.
