Stroke Patient Advocate E-book

The Stroke Recovery Advocate E-book is a guide for stroke patient advocates.

If you've read The Patient From Hell by Stephen Schneider, you'll know how important a patient advocate is to someone facing the potentially long recovery period post-stroke. Whilst Stephen's story relates to recovery from cancer, the message that you need someone questioning and validating the treatment options, is relevant to stroke recovery.

Generally, the medical profession is most interested in stabilising a patient post-stroke and providing some rehabilitation to get them to a degree of independence. At this point, it seems, they pat themselves on the back and mark the case as closed.

In the normal scheme of events, patients are treated "by the numbers". Standard medications and standard therapies are applied. The standard procedures are in place and that's what is followed. There isn't much in the way of innovation. Nor are the boundaries pushed on what may make a significant difference.

Our opinion is that if the medicos were the patient, they'd be expecting a lot more and certainly taking a lot more interest in the recovery process six months and more after the stroke.

We've written this e-book to provide you with information about:

• How to select the right person to be a stroke patient advocate
• Background information on potential drugs that might be prescribed
• How to manage the medicos, and in particular, what you should get out of each appointment
• How to consider the recommendations (for treatment or drugs) made by medical staff and made a decision on whether to proceed or not
• Checking out that the prescribed drugs work together
• Overview of therapy alternatives, both traditional and non-traditional, and what you can do yourself
• How to choose a therapist or practitioner
• What you can do to prevent a subsequent stroke
• What you can do for ongoing recovery
• List of resources, reference websites, books, etc.
