Hospital Nationally Recognized for Commitment to Providing High-Quality Stroke Care

 

 I wouldn't go there if all they are offering is 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!

Anytime I see 'care' in any stroke press release I know the stroke medical world is not willing to disclose actual results because they are so fucking bad, it wouldn't look good, so misdirection is used. Don't fall for that misdirection! By touting 'care' they are not telling you about results or recovery which survivors want! Survivors don't care about your 'care'; you FUCKING BLITHERING IDIOTS; they want 100% recovery! Why aren't you providing that?

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us multiple times but never tell us how many 100% recovered.  You have to ask yourself why they are hiding their incompetency by not disclosing recovery results.  ARE THEY THAT FUCKING BAD?

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke medical world is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospitals by firing the board of directors, you can't let incompetency continue for years at a time.

There is no quality here if you don't measure the right things.

1. tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
2. 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?

3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

 

You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(whomever that is) RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.

In my opinion this partnership allows stroke hospitals to continue with their tyranny of low expectations and justify their complete failure to get survivors 100% recovered. Prove me wrong, I dare you in my stroke addled mind. If your stroke hospital goal is not 100% recovery you don't have a functioning stroke hospital.

 

All you ever get from hospitals are that they are following guidelines; these are way too static to be of any use. With thousands of pieces of stroke research yearly it would take a Ph.D. level research analyst to keep up, create protocols, and train the doctors and therapists in their use. 

If your stroke hospital doesn't have that, you don't have a well functioning stroke hospital, you have a dinosaur. 

Read up on the 'care' guidelines yourself. Survivors want RECOVERY not 'care'

Hospital Nationally Recognized for Commitment to Providing High-Quality Stroke Care

HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus: Target Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus. This quality achievement award is based on the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment. Treatments align with nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disabilities. The hospital also met specific scientific guidelines as an advanced primary stroke center, featuring a comprehensive system for rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients admitted to the emergency department. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times. In addition to following treatment guidelines, the hospital also educates patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home. HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke SM Honor Roll Elite Plus award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with thrombolytic therapy. The hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes™ Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke.
