Good to know!

Recognizing a Stroke
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 getting to the
patient within 3 hours which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE - A true story
Susie is recouping at an incredible pace for someone with a
massive stroke all because Sherry saw Susie stumble - -
that is the key that isn't mentioned below -and then she
asked Susie the 3 questions. So simple - - this literally
saved Susie's life - - Some angel sent it to Suzie's friend
and they did just what it said to do. Suzie failed all three
so then 9-1-1 was called. Even though she had normal blood
pressure readings and did not appear to be a stroke as she
could converse to some extent with the Paramedics they took
her to the hospital right away. Thank God for the sense to
remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer 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:
1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(ie . It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with
any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers
could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech
problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the
three questions. They presented their conclusions at the
American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February.
Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis
and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
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.
