Strategies to Improve Medical Communication

 Did you get ANY useful communications from your stroke medical 'professionals'?

I got none, my doctor knew nothing and did nothing. My therapists never told me the chances of recovery or the  expected outcomes of the interventions I was doing. 

 I should expect;

1. Percentage efficacy of the intervention

2. Number of repetitions required to get recovered.

3. The research that backs up the suggested repetitions and efficacy
   

If you have none of that you don't have a functioning anything in stroke!

RUN AWAY!
