STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters…
S.T.R .
My friend sent this to me
and encouraged me to post
it and spread the word. I
agree. If everyone can
remember something this
simple, we could save some
folks.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
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…
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.
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) (eg
‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE
BOTH ARMS .
RECOG NI ZING A STROKE
Remember the ‘3′ steps,
STR . Read and Learn!Sometimes symptoms of a
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call
the ambulance and describe
the symptoms to the
dispatcher.
NOTE
stroke is
1. Ask the person to ’stick’ out their
tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to
one side or the other that is also an
indication of a stroke..
A prominent cardiologist
says if everyone who forward
this blog post the life
you save could be
your own.
