INFORMATION

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW........................

B lood Clots/Stroke -

They Now Have a

Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

 

 

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

 

STROKE: Remember

the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

 

My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it

and spread the word.

I agree..........

 

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

Seriously..

 

Please read:

 

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) she said she had 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 6:00 pm 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 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

emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to

the dispatcher.

 

New Sign of a Stroke is:

Stick

out Your Tongue

 

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 e-mail sends it to

10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

 

I have done my part. Will you do your's?

God Bless you all.

Be Safe and Healthy
