STROKE IDENTITY

July 7, 2006

IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured
everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and 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 6:00pm , 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 ….. TO SPEAK A SIMPLE
SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out
today).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE ….. BOTH ARMS .

NOTE : Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’
out their tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side
or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has
trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 u.s. or 117 Philippines
immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Watching exciting television shows may cause a stroke.

Please pass or forward email, so people may know.
Thank you.
