STROKE:
Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T.R .
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it
and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this
simple, we could save some folks.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a
friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine
and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to
call ambulance)
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 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had
suffered a stroke at the party. 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…
STROKE
IDENTIFICATION:
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
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 * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg “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 the ambulance and
describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
NOTE
: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out
their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one
side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A prominent 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.
….and it could be
your own…..
PASS THIS ON….

I smoked cigarettes for quite a while. I recognize it injures my health and so I wish to give up smoking and yet this has been difficult. None of the quitting tools worked for me. Then I heard about the e cigarette. It has virtually saved my life. No longer inhaling poisons feels amazing!

Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got some thing very good right here. But what if you added one or two links to some webpage that backs up what you are saying? Or maybe you could give us some thing to look at, something that would connect what youre expressing to something tangible? Just a suggestion.
