STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R

Seriously ... please read: 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 & SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently, i.e ., It is sunny out today).

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their 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.
