Uncooperative? To the point of refusing treatment? Um, NO.

Angry at the hand you've been dealt? Yes. Mean to the staff and others? Um, NO.

Vast majority of my stroke patients, and I have at least 2 per week, are upbeat and determined to get back to full functionality. This person was born mean and angry, the stroke just made it worse.

I was attempting to point out how a person's innate personality comes into play when telling others about their treatment while in the hospital. I guarantee you that his person will be blaming the care and not himself.
