You could save a life.

 

During

a party, 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, 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 party. 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...

 

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

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 :

" 3 " steps,

 

Remember STR (first

three letter of STROKE) .

 

S * Ask

the individual to SMILE .

T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE

SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg " 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 the ambulance

and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a

stroke is

1.

Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.

 

2.

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.

PASS THIS ON….
