Stroke rehabilitation; Carr, Shepherd 2003

 I know Carr and Shepherd are famous in the stroke world but lets unpack what they aren't doing.

1. Guidelines; NOT PROTOCOLS

2. Optimize; NOT RECOVER

3. They also have bought into the tyranny of low expectations. Survivors deserve better than half assed work.  

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

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke 'leader' will ream me out for making them look bad by being truthful , I look forward to that day.
