Subject: Very Important to Read! Recognizing a Stroke


During a BBQ a guest 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. At 3:00
am a
call was received from Ingrid's husband telling 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.

It only takes a minute to read this-

Recognizing a Stroke


----- 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 getting to
the
patient within 3 hours which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately,
the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer
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:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.

2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . .
It
is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks,
call
9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could
identify
facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged
the
general public to learn the three questions. They presented their
conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last
February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis
and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

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.

BE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE,
you
could save their lives.
Diamonds Without A Doubt!
