SYMPTOMS OF STROKE
Sometimes symptoms of stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately this lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of stroke. Doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions. STR Ask the individual to SMILE Ask the individual TALK; speak a simple sentence coherently Ask the individual to RAISE BOTH ARMS If the individual has difficulty with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms. Another indication of stroke is to ask the individual to stick out their tongue, if the tongue is crooked or falls to one side or the other this may indicate the individual has had a stroke A cardiologist says that if everyone who gets this email, sends it to 10 people; you can be sure that at least one life will be saved. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
