RECOGNISING A STROKE

You may like to copy the following for future reference

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.

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 .

    Remember the '3' steps, S T R.
             Doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
             S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
             T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
             (i.e. It is sunny out today)
             R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911/112 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

            New Sign of a Stroke -------- "Stick out Your Tongue"

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

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