Blood  Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

ADVICE

 

 

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. Will  you?
