In Search of Reliable and Complete Data on Stroke Severity: The Unfulfilled Promise of R29.7xx

There is absolutely nothing reliable about the NIHSS scale; subjective; NOT objective.

I consider the NIHSS subjective stroke scale as worthless.

The first thing needed is an OBJECTIVE DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS. Then we can discuss reliability.

You can't do a goddamn thing with it; map recovery protocols to a objective starting point. No research is reproducible using this since it has nothing objective in it. 

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

Telling supposedly smart stroke medical persons they know nothing about stroke is a no-no even if it is true. 

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