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 a doctor says a bystander can identify stroke by asking simple questions:
s* * Ask the individual to SMILE
t** TALK . Ask the person to speak a simple sentence (coherently) .( eg.. IT IS RAINY TODAY )
r** Ask the person to RAISE THE BOTH ARMS
If the person has trouble with anyone of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher .
Note
Another sign of stroke is
1) Ask the person to STICK out their tongue
2)If the tongue is CROOKED , if it goes one side or the other that is also an indication of stroke
In these way you can identify stroke and save one life and their loved one's tears.
