Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards - National Stroke Association

I bet not a single one of these awards will be for raising awareness of all the failures in stroke.  I don't even know why stroke is in their name, they are doing nothing to solve ANY of the problems in stroke. Well Aurora contact me and we can discuss NSA failures.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.
