Deans' stroke musings: $6M Idaho rehab unit to be 1st of its kind in region

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.

$6M Idaho rehab unit to be 1st of its kind in region

Unless YOU get involved NOW they won't set the correct goals for stroke patients. 100% RECOVERY FOR ALL! They will fall back on the complete failures of only 12% full recovery for tPA delivery and 10% full recovery for normal rehab.

When you are the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke, you'll want full recovery. Make it personal to the staff there, ask how they are going to fully recover when their time comes to have a stroke.

$6M Idaho rehab unit to be 1st of its kind in region

Lewiston, Idaho-based St. Joseph Regional Medical Center is beginning construction of a new $6 million rehabilitation unit, which will be the only one of its type within a 100-mile radius. The unit should be complete by mid-June 2023, the hospital said Dec.29.

The 10-bed unit will also include a gym and state-of-the-art equipment used in rehab therapies for patients recovering from stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputation, and trauma, among others.

"Adding a dedicated [acute rehabilitation unit] to our hospital will enable St. Joe's to provide acute-level, physician-led rehabilitation expertise while avoiding the disruption of transferring a patient to a separate, out-of-area facility," Taylor Rudd, chief operations officer, said in a statement.

The hospital, the largest full-service medical center between Boise, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash., is part of Louisville, Ky.-based ScionHealth, which operates 61 acute-care hospitals and 18 community hospitals across the U.S.
