STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters...S.T.R.
               (Embedded image moved to file: pic08952.jpg)

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. 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) and 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 6:00pm, 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 simple
questions:

                  S *       Ask the individual to SMILE.
                  T *       Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
                                                 (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
                  R *       Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

  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.  If he or she has
trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

                  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.
