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.

University Hospital Geelong lauded for stroke care

 

This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!

If your hospital is touting 'care' it means they are a failure because they are delivering 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! I would never go to a failed hospital!

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

I see nothing here that states going for 100% recovery! You need to create EXACT PROTOCOLS FOR THAT!

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! I wouldn't go there because of such incompetency as not having 100% recovery protocols!

RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE! 

GET THERE!'

l University Hospital Geelong has been recognised for its excellence in caring for stroke patients, becoming the first in the Geelong region to receive stroke unit certification from the Australian Stroke Coalition The ASC Stroke Unit Certification Program certifies hospitals that consistently meet a stringent set of national criteria designed to deliver the best possible stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!)to patients.This includes caring for all stroke patients on a single dedicated ward, providing specialist staffing, regular training, data monitoring and improvement, and patient involvement in decision making. University Hospital Geelong is among only 25 Australian hospitals that are officially certified, with other Victorian hospitals including Austin Health, Alfred Hospital, Echuca Hospital and Box Hill Hospital. Stroke Foundation chief executive officer Dr Lisa Murphy said the certification would improve outcomes for patients.“Treatment on a dedicated stroke unit is proven to make the biggest overall difference of any intervention to patient outcomes following stroke, reducing the risks of both death and disability.“Both Australian and international evidence suggests that rigorous stroke centre certification programs improve the quality of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) and patient outcomes.”The need for a certification system was reinforced by findings in Stroke Foundation’s National Acute Services Audit 2024, which found that not all Australian hospitals with a self-designated stroke unit meet the requirements for stroke unit care.“This means some people with stroke are being provided suboptimal care(NOT RECOVERY!) which impacts their recovery and leads to poorer health outcomes. This is unfair,” Dr Murphy said. “All Australian survivors of stroke deserve the best quality of care(NOT RECOVERY!) regardless of where they are hospitalised. There should be no postcode lottery.” Participation in the program is voluntary and there is no penalty for hospitals that do not meet the criteria, but Australian and New Zealand Stroke Organisation president Professor Tim Kleinig is optimistic that all Australian hospitals with self-designated stroke units will apply for certification over time. “This is an opportunity for all Australian hospitals treating patients with stroke to further enhance the already excellent work their stroke teams deliver. “Quality stroke unit care(NOT RECOVERY!) is critical, and all Australians deserve nothing less. We must ensure everyone unfortunate enough to have a stroke has the best possible chance, not only of survival, but also a good post-stroke recovery.” He applauded University Hospital and the others with the certification for taking the necessary steps in ensuring they met and maintained a high quality of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!). “Along with the World Health Organization and World Stroke Organization, we hope all hospitals providing stroke care will participate in the certification process,” Professor Kleinig said.
