>> STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

>> During a BBQ, a woman 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, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane 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 -------- 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.
