Good info.
Keep on reminding everyone!
An important refresher.
Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you email this to ten people, you stand
a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke -
They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R.
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. Chicken Soup)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number 911
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?
