  Blood  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.

 

 

STROKE  IDENTIFICATION

 

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 -------- Stick out Your  Tongue

 

NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: 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. Have  you?
