Deans' stroke musings: It just barely works from Seth Godin as applied to stroke rehab

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.

It just barely works from Seth Godin as applied to stroke rehab

Stroke rehab is a complete fucking failure!

Here for your edification are most of the failure points!

All the fucking problems in stroke

WHOM IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT? Certainly not the current stroke medical 'professionals'. None of them are working on 100% recovery! With survivors in charge, stroke would get solved.

It just barely works

This is the story of every new software innovation, and in fact, just about everything engineers have ever created.

The first Wright Bros. plane just barely flew.

The first version of VisiCalc was just barely useful.

The earliest bridges were shaky, unreliable and made of vines.

The secret of successful product development isn’t an innovation that bursts forth as a polished and finished product. Instead, it’s sticking with something that is almost useless, nurturing and sharing and improving until we can’t imagine living without it.

[Worth noting that we do the same thing when we learn to walk or to speak a new language–or even visit a new community.]
