YOU COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE BY KNOWING AND PASSING ON THIS SIMPLE INFORMATION.
Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and she said she had 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, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane 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.
IDENTIFYING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR.

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 and
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. Chicken Soup)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH
ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY
ONE of these tasks, call
emergency number immediately
and describe the symptoms to the
dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick
out Your Tongue
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.
A cardiologist said that if everyone
who gets this message shared it
with 10 people; you can bet that
at least one life will be saved.
I have done my part. Will you?
