KEEP FORGETTING I HAVE TO CUT AND PASTE, MORGAN
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.
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 999/911 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.
