RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!
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 9-1-1immediately 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.
