STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little
fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and
just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
(they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate
of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up,
she went about enjoying herself the rest of the
evening. Her husband called later telling
everyone that his wife had been taken to the
hospital - (at 6:00pm , she passed away.)

She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they
known how to identify the signs of a stroke,
perhaps she would be with us today.

Some don't die. They end up in a helpless,
hopeless condition instead. It only takes a
minute to read this...

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke
victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the
effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick
was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then
getting the patient medically cared for within 3
hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to
identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness
spells disaster.The stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize
the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander
can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * SMILE-Ask the individual to SMILE .
T * TALK-Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (eg "It is sunny out today").
R * RAISE-Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks,
call (your countries emergency number) immediately!!
and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to
one side or the other that is also an indication
of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets
this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that
at least one life will be saved.

….and it could be your own…..
