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


My                                  nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post                                  it and spread the word.
I agree.

If                                  everyone can remember something this simple, we                                  could save some                                  folks.
Seriously..

Please                                  read:

STROKE                                   IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend                                  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, 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 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.)                                  She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. 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...

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                                  numberimmediatelyand 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?
