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 emergency number 
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?
