Deans' stroke musings: SPRINGFIELD - Baystate Medical center's Mini-Medical School will begin its fall session on Sept. 17

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.

SPRINGFIELD - Baystate Medical center's Mini-Medical School will begin its fall session on Sept. 17

If you sign up and go, the Oct. 29, "Stroke/Rehabilitation" with Dr. Rajiv Padmanabhan; class looks like the most entertaining because I'm sure the doctor won't tell you about all the problems in stroke; or the neuronal cascade of death; Or these 177 hyperacute therapies; or Dementia prevention 19 ways. Or really anything useful at all for survivors; Like tPA full recovery percentages, 30 day deaths compared to their peers; 100% recovery percentages compared to their peers. I bet he will tell you nothing at all that isn't puffery or anything backed up by research.

Tuition is $95 per person and $80 for Senior Class and Spirit of Women members. Registration for the fall semester of mini-medical school is now in session by calling Baystate Health Link at (800) 377-4325 or visiting www.baystatehealth.org/minimed
