For stroke survivors in recovery, physical activity can spell the difference between dependence and independence - ASA statement

As a general statement this is fine but is directed to the wrong side of the equation. Your doctor is responsible to get you recovered enough to be able to do this. This blame the patient shit needs to stop.

THIS IS YOUR DOCTORS' RESPONSIBILITY!

 Did your doctor DO ANYTHING AT ALL in the first week? Or was incompetence in action there? S/he just let all those neurons in the penumbra die during the neuronal cascade of death in the first week? I don't care that nothing is proven yet about how to stop that death cascade. What researchers is your doctor working with to find answers? No contact with researchers, call the president and ask  how far up the chain does firing need to go? Doctor? Stroke department head? President itself? Board of Directors? I'm serious here, a lot of dead wood needs to be removed in stroke starting with doctors.

My 31 ideas on hyperacute therapy I'm going to insist my doctor give me during the first week,
even without further research or real clinical trials.
