The problem with complaining about the stroke system ...is that the system can't hear you.

Another insightful post from Seth Godin. If we apply this to stroke, there has to be thousands of the 10 million stroke survivors a year that know employees of the stroke associations that can be influenced to speak about all the problems in stroke and what exactly those stroke associations are doing to solve them. 10 million survivors a year plus relatives and friends could make a deafening call to action. But it is up to YOU to do this, our stroke medical professionals seem not to be able to get anything accomplished that directly helps stroke survivors. Awareness be damned.

The problem with complaining about the system

...is that the system can't hear you. Only people can.
And the problem is that people in the system are too often swayed to believe that they have no power over the system, that they are merely victims of it, pawns, cogs in a machine bigger than themselves.
Alas, when the system can't hear you, and those who can believe they have no power, nothing improves.
Systems don't mistreat us, misrepresent us, waste our resources, govern poorly, support an unfair status quo and generally screw things up--people do.
If we care enough, we can make it change.
