Interestingly, there was no debate on the merits of thrombolysis of t-PA for stroke. It is considered an important part of overall stroke treatment. I don't think this disbelief comes true conviction because they never stop anybody from giving t-PA for stroke. I think that it comes from a perception that an intangible something is wrong with t-PA for stroke. Medical research takes a huge amount of effort, time, commitment.
Medical researchers deserve more than the propagation of perceptions of truth.
I am familiar with many of those articles.
