Deans' stroke musings: HCA Healthcare and the American Heart Association launch $15M national stroke initiative

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.

HCA Healthcare and the American Heart Association launch $15M national stroke initiative

You'll notice they are DOING NOTHING THAT SURVIVOR'S WANT, 100% RECOVERY.

What a fucking waste of money.

HCA Healthcare and the American Heart Association launch $15M national stroke initiative

HCA Healthcare and HCA Healthcare Foundation have donated $15 million to the American Heart Association for its new national stroke initiative, Getting to the Heart of Stroke. The effort focuses on "preventing, treating and beating stroke by providing consumer and health care professional education nationwide, deepening collaboration between neurology and cardiology and equitably empowering communities about stroke risk to improve health outcomes." AHA staff and volunteer experts will work to educate 15 select communities across seven states on stroke risk factor awareness and more "through the lens of equitable health for all."
