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.

Dr. P. Vijaya elected as President of Indian Stroke Association, Pioneering Stroke Care in India

This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! NONE of her priorities are stroke recovery!

YOU have to get involved and change this failure mindset of 'care' to 100% RECOVERY! Survivors want RECOVERY, NOT 'CARE'!

ASK SURVIVORS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL NEVER RESPOND 'CARE'! This tyranny of low expectations has to be completely rooted out of any stroke conversation!

RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE! GET THERE!

 Dr. P. Vijaya elected as President of Indian Stroke Association, Pioneering Stroke Care in India

Highlights Dr. P. Vijaya, a senior neurologist and head of the Department of Neurosciences at Lalitha Group of Hospitals, has made history by being elected as the President of the Indian Stroke Association (ISA) for the 2025-26 term. Dr. P. Vijaya, a senior neurologist and head of the Department of Neurosciences at Lalitha Group of Hospitals, has made history by being elected as the President of the Indian Stroke Association (ISA) for the 2025-26 term. Her election took place during the 18th Annual Indian National Stroke Conference (INSC), held from March 20th to 23rd at the Holiday Inn in Lucknow. 

This prestigious position marks Dr. Vijaya as the first neurologist from Andhra Pradesh to lead the ISA.  Renowned for her innovative contributions to stroke care, Dr. Vijaya is committed to improving patient outcomes through standardized care and accreditation processes. As a distinguished alumnus of PGIMER, Chandigarh, she has an impressive academic background, marked by her pioneering establishment of the first Stroke Unit in Andhra Pradesh in 1996. Since then, she has devoted her career to advancing stroke care, conducting research, and shaping healthcare policies. With over 60 publications in leading medical journals and experience as an invited faculty member at both national and international conferences, Dr. Vijaya has a significant influence on stroke care policy in India. The ISA, which represents more than 1,300 members across the country, is the foremost organization for stroke specialists in India, addressing the growing prevalence of stroke-related conditions. Alarmingly, every minute, three individuals in India suffer from a stroke, with annual reports indicating roughly 1.8 million new cases, including a troubling rise among those under 40 years of age.  Upon receiving the Presidential Medallion, Dr. Vijaya outlined her vision with the theme "Brain Stroke – Time to Take Action" for her tenure. Her mission emphasizes multi-level intervention, targeting awareness at individual, community, and national levels. 
Key priorities set forth by Dr. Vijaya include: 
- *Strengthening Stroke Awareness*: 
Collaborating with government agencies, NGOs, media, and the public to promote stroke prevention and treatment. 
- *Developing a National Stroke Action Plan*: 
Advocating for standardized, evidence-based care protocols for neurologists and physicians. - *Knowledge and Capacity Building*: Training young neurologists, stroke nurses, ER personnel, and ambulance staff on effective management of acute stroke patients. 
- *Empowering Public Awareness*: Educating the public on the preventability of 80% of strokes through timely action, and reinforcing the idea that stroke is a treatable condition where "Time is Brain." Through these initiatives, the ISA, under Dr. Vijaya’s leadership, aims to prioritize stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) at regional, state, and national levels, advocating for impactful changes that enhance prevention, treatment, and patient recovery across India. Additionally, Dr. Vijaya plans to strengthen stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) infrastructure nationwide by establishing stroke units in medical colleges and enhancing care(NOT RECOVERY!) services in district hospitals, ensuring fair access to high-quality treatment for all patients in need. She also envisions forging strategic alliances with major neurological and physician associations, as well as international bodies such as the American Stroke Association and the World Stroke Organization, to foster innovation and share advancements in stroke care management in India. Dr. Vijaya's election is not only a personal achievement but also a significant milestone for stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) in the country, as she leads the charge towards a healthier future for stroke survivors in India.
