> STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall
- she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered
to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick
because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and
got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit
shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest
of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling
everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital
- (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a
stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the
signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid 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...
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
Thank God for the sense to 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 * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: 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. If he or she
has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and
describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
