Two very simple questions to determine your stroke providers competence

For your stroke hospital.

Does it have a stroke support group? If yes, that means they are completely failing at getting most survivors 100% recovered. They have accepted the tyranny of low expectations as gospel and are doing nothing to change the failed status quo.   There are NO EXCUSES ALLOWED.  They will use this fuckingly lazy statement to justify complete failure; 'All strokes are different, All stroke recoveries are different.' Laugh in their faces, rather maniacally. 'I'm supposed to accept that as your excuse for not getting me recovered?'

For your stroke doctor.

What prescriptions did your write to my therapists? OT, PT, ST?

If E.T.(Evaluate and Treat) that means your doctor knows nothing about stroke rehab, and is taking NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LACK OF RECOVERY. 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 

I shouldn't presume to know more than all these medically trained persons, especially since I'm not medically trained. You need zero medical training to evaluate your doctor and hospital, just common sense at looking at their results.

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. I expect all doctors should know more about stroke than you or me. 

If this doesn't get me flamed and hate mail it means your stroke providers aren't even following stroke survivor writings to see what needs improving. Another failure point on their side.  Flame away, I will respond factually and in spades.
