Subject: Fw: Stroke/Blood cots

friends, if this is not yet known to you...

 

here it is... a very helpful information...

 

continue to forward this every time it comes
around!


STROKE:
Remember
The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

 

 

 

My
nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I
agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save
some folks. Seriously..

Please read:


STROKE
IDENTIFICATION:


During
a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she
was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....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, 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 6:00 pm 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. 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.


RECOGNIZING
A STROKE

Thank
God for the sense to 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 simp le
questions:
S
* Ask
the individual to SMILE.

T
* Ask
the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is
sunny out today)

R
* Ask
him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.


If
he or she has trouble with
ANY
ONE o f these tasks, call 999/911 or emergency number known to you , 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 his 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 says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you
can bet that at least one life will be saved.
