* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allkindpublic/join>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. ** RECOGNIZING A STROKE ** 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 * = 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 . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call *the ambulance*and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. * NOTE **: Another 'sign' of a 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 gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. and it could be your own.. PASS THIS ONE. Care's with Love MAHESH URS PWe all have a responsibility towards the environment. Before printing this e-mail or any other document, let's ask ourselves whether we need a hard copy ? ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BETTER PERSONALITY GROUP" group.
