Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
๐I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the *1st Three Letters*....
*๐ S. T. R. ๐*
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
๐Senario :- During a BBQ, a woman 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, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
๐Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PMJane 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.
๐It only takes a minute to read this.
๐A 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.
*๐RECOGNIZING A STROKE*
Thank God for the sense to remember the *'3' steps, STR.* Read and Learn!
๐Sometimes 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*:
โ
*S*Ask the individual to *SMILE*.
โ
*T* Ask the person to *TALK* and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. Chicken Soup)
โ
*R*Ask him or her to *RAISE BOTH ARMS.*
๐If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
๐New Sign of a Stroke ---
โ
*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.
โ
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.
