STROKE: Remember the Three Letters Plus the Tongue. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word, I agreed. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously . please read: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and 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 afternoon. Ingrid's husband called later saying that his wife had been taken to the hospital and 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 stroke victims 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 three hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke . . . totally. He said the trick was having a stroke recognized, diagnosed and then getting the patient medically cared for within three hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE: Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. 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, to 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. If he or she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to ten people, you can bet at least one life will be saved. --299.8718c93_alt_bound Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML xmlns:o =3D "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" XMLNS:U3 XMLNS= :U2><HEAD><META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUS= -ASCII"></HEAD> <BODY id=3Drole_body style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY= : Arial Black" bottomMargin=3D7 leftMargin=3D7 topMargin=3D7 rightMargin= =3D7><FONT id=3Drole_document face=3D"Arial Black" color=3D#000000 size= =3D3> <DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style=3D"PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blu= e 2px solid"><FONT style=3D"BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=3DArial=20= color=3D#000000 size=3D2> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DTahoma><BR></FONT> </DIV><!--[gte IE 5]><?xml:names= pace prefix=3D"v" /><?xml:namespace prefix=3D"o" /><![endif]--> <DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Arial Black" size=3D3> Since most dog show people= are=20 WELL over 21 this could be of use to us. </FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><B><FONT face=3DArial color=3Dmaroon><SPAN style=3D"FONT-= SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: maroon; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></B></STRONG>&n= bsp;</DIV> <DIV class=3DSection1> <DIV> <P class=3DMsoNormal><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman" size=3D3><SPAN sty= le=3D"FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV> <TABLE class=3DMsoNormalTable style=3D"MARGIN-LEFT: 2.75pt; WIDTH: 100%" =20= cellSpacing=3D0 cellPadding=3D0 border=3D0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style=3D"PADDING-RIGHT: 1.5pt; PADDING-LEFT: 1.5pt; PADDIN= G-BOTTOM: 1.5pt; WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 1.5pt" width=3D"100%"> <P class=3DMsoNormal><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman" size=3D2><SPAN =20= style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=3DMsoNormal><B><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman" color=3Dblue=20= size=3D3><SPAN style=3D"FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 12= pt; COLOR: blue">STROKE:=20 </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=3D#993366><SPAN style=3D"COLOR:=20= #993366"> </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=3Dblue><SPAN style=3D"COL= OR: blue">Remember the Three Letters Plus the=20 Tongue.</SPAN></FONT></B><B><FONT face=3DArial color=3Dblue size=3D4= ><SPAN style=3D"FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue;= FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR></SPAN></FONT></B><B><FONT face=3DArial c= olor=3D#444444 size=3D1><SPAN style=3D"FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZ= E: 9pt; COLOR: #444444; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><IMG SRC=3D"cid:X.MA2.1143826972= @aol.com" height=3D290 width=3D434 border=3D0 datasize=3D"25478"=20= DATASIZE=3D"25478" ID=3D"MA2.1143826972" ></SPAN></FONT><FONT colo= r=3Dblue><SPAN style=3D"COLOR: blue"><U3:P></U3:P><U2:P></U2:P><o:= p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></P> <P class=3DMsoNormal><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman" size=3D2><SPAN =20= style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <DIV> <P class=3DMsoNormal style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt"><STRONG><B><FONT=20= face=3DArial color=3D#444444 size=3D4><SPAN style=3D"FON= T-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: #444444; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><U3:P></U3:P><U2:P></U2:= P>STROKE=20 IDENTIFICATION:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></STRONG></P></DIV> <DIV> <P class=3DMsoNormal style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt"><B><FONT face=3DA= rial color=3D#444444 size=3D4><SPAN style=3D"FONT-WEIGHT= : bold; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: #444444; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><U3:P></U3:P>= <U2:P></U2:P>My=20 friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the w= ord,=20 I agreed.
