Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Mesquite hospital(Dallas,TX) gets top marks for treatment of stroke patients

 

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us  but never tell us how many 100% recovered.

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?

  1. tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
  2. 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?

  3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

 

You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) and demand to know what the RESULTS are for; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.

The invalid chest thumping here:

The Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite is celebrating after recently being awarded the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s “Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award,” it announced this week.

The award recognizes medical facilities that are able to meet quality assurance measures set out by the AHA for the diagnosis and treatment of patients having a stroke.

“Patient care is always the top priority at Dallas Regional Medical Center,” Glenda Matchett, the hospital’s CEO, said in a news release. “Implementing the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke initiative shows that we are dedicated to improving the quality of care our stroke patients receive."

Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Heart Association, which also says nearly 795,000 people each year suffer a new or recurrent stroke. If proper care is administered, the chance of survival increases and recovery can take place more quickly.

“We are pleased to recognize Dallas Regional Medical Center for their commitment to stroke care,” Dr. Lee H. Schwamm, national chairperson of the Quality Oversight Committee and Executive Vice Chair of Neurology, Director of Acute Stroke Services at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in a news release. “Research has shown that hospitals adhering to clinical measures through the Get With The Guidelines quality improvement initiative can often see fewer re-admissions and lower mortality rates.”

The Dallas Regional Medical Center is located at 1011 N Galloway Ave.
