And to do that your doctor should be stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Or is s/he letting millions of neurons die during the first week? That is a very serious question your doctor needs to answer.

Clinicians working with stroke patients should identify issues that
prevent them returning to work, according to the National Institute for
Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Its updated standard on adult stroke care says clinicians should look
at the physical, cognitive, communication and psychological demands of
the patient’s job, as part of managing their return to work, if the
patient wishes to do so.
‘After a stroke, adults may have significant disabilities that prevent them from returning to work,’ says NICE.
‘Work can contribute to a person's identity and perceived status, has
financial benefits, and can improve their quality of life and reduce
ill health. Being able to return to work is also a sign that
rehabilitation has been successful.’
Early supported discharge after a stroke enables people to continue
their rehabilitation therapy at home, with the same intensity and
expertise that they would receive in hospital, it says.
It cautions that this may not be suitable for all patients, however.
The decision to offer early supported discharge should be made by a core
multidisciplinary stroke team. Where appropriate, the patient, their
family and carers should be part of discussions about discharge.
The standard is aimed at commissioners, services providers and health
and social care professionals who are aware of discharge pathways and
able to offer early supported discharge to adults who have had a stroke.
