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.

Why Doctors Should Write

If there are any doctors writing about stroke I haven't seen them. Why isn't your doctor writing about stroke?
http://shawnwhatley.com/doctors-should-write/
Doctors should shape the public’s understanding of medical care, not non-physician experts. If doctors do not write, others will.
Non-physician experts have interesting ideas about how MDs should work. Physician silence leaves these ideas unchallenged, untested by those the ideas impact.
Doctors should write books, articles, op eds, short stories, letters to the editor, memoirs, history, and more. Academic writing helps, but not enough. Academia freezes around a paradigm and forces writers into an igloo of peer review, editorial independence, and journalistic themes. (Academia research is inaccessible to laypersons)
Victors write history. Doctors used to rule supreme in medicine. That changed and, in a number of ways, patients are better for it.
