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.
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 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 of these tasks, call 999/911 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.
