Who’s in the room when stroke is talked about?

If stroke survivors are not in your stroke conferences and guideline creations then you are missing the most important people in stroke. When your hospital has post mortem interviews on stroke rehab failures are there survivors in the room? Unless the survivor gets 100% recovered there should be a post mortem in every case to determine exactly why they didn't recover, in order to change the failure points. If your stroke hospital is not doing that you need to fire the president and the board of directors.   

Another great Seth Godin post.

Who’s in the room when stroke is talked about? 

We accidentally curate who comes to the meeting, who has a seat at the table where decisions are made. We almost randomly decide who is interviewing and being interviewed, who is brainstorming, who is reviewing the work…
What if we did it with intention? What if we thought deeply about who sits across from us during the key conversations?
Convenient should not be the dominant driver of this choice. Nor should existing protocol.
“Who’s not here?” might be the most important unasked question.
