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.

Ruckusmaker day

Steve Jobs' 60th birthday. So make a ruckus because unless we do, nothing is going to change in the stroke world. There are 10 million survivors a year, We could be deafening enough that even doctors listen to us.
1. Call your stroke hospital president and ask when the hell they will start providing detailed statistics of how good their stroke department is; 30 day deaths, 100% recovery, tPA efficacy, number of updated stroke protocols with efficacy ratings. Who will be fired if those goals are not achieved?
2. Call/email the presidents of the ASA, NSA, WSO.
Do you want to be known as the stroke leaders that did nothing but twiddle your thumbs?
NSA President - Mr. Lopez
AHA President - Dr. Arnett
WSO President - Dr. Davis 
Ask them point blank when they are going to define a strategy with dates to solve the problems in stroke.
And whom is assigned the goal of solving those problems? Specifics only, NO bland appeasement statements allowed.
