   STROKE CLOT BUSTER TECHNOLOGY WORKS!


Advances such as the new stroke clot buster technology provides immediate solutions for patients with ischemic strokes caused by blocked arteries.
The outcomes can be exceptional for those lucky enough to have access to this procedure.
CASE STUDY:                                              
Igor has been successfully teaching the Alexander technique of posture training to dancers and mere mortals with back problems for many years.

Last week, he was in his studio and decided to go across the road to the grocery store. He put some money in his pocket but left his wallet in the studio.

When he got to the grocery store, he got dizzy and fainted. Someone called 911. The paramedics recognized that he was having a stroke. They immediately took him to a large teaching hospital.

The doctors examined him and decided that he needed the stroke clot buster procedure.

He did not have any identification. The doctors pegged his age at 70. They did the stroke buster procedure. It was very effective and lead to a total recovery.

Later, he learned that the doctors will NOT do this procedure for anyone over 90 years of age.
 
Igor is really 91 but luckily looks 70.

Lucky for him that he had forgotten his identification.
CONCLUSION:                                              
Unfortunately, the moral of the story is that by leaving his identification at home, Igor was able to access life saving technology that would have otherwise not been offered to him.

Rupert Case Management (RCM) helps patients by advocating for treatments that are restricted to certain age groups.

In addition, RCM lobbies to review these types of policies and to support the patient's right to choose, if the treatment is shown to be effective by the published evidence.
