Deans' stroke musings: Tampa General nurse negligent in stroke case, jury finds, awards patient $70.8M

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.

Tampa General nurse negligent in stroke case, jury finds, awards patient $70.8M

Proof you are required to have the classic symptoms; drooping face, one sided inability to move, speech problems, so your medical 'professionals can actually identify it as a stroke!

Tampa General nurse negligent in stroke case, jury finds, awards patient $70.8M

A Florida jury awarded nearly $71 million to a single mother whose stroke was allegedly missed by a free-standing emergency department. Chiaka Stewart said she had the worst headache of her life, and had recently gone back on birth control -- a risk factor for stroke -- but wasn't given a CT scan and eventually discharged, only to have a stroke 2 days later.
