Here is how 5 minutes of yours can
potentially save many lives ... STROKE
Stroke Identification Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R ..
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... 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)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS... |
