I just read an article shortly ago in our local paper and asked a guy I golf with if it is this easy and he assured me it is.

If someone begins to have balance trouble or seem off and you suspect a stroke,

1: Ask them to smile
2: Ask them to raise both arms to shoulder height
3: Ask them to speak a simple sentence

If they have trouble with any part of these call 9-11 immediately.

According to him you will see the smile as lopsided, they will not be able to raise both arms equally or they will be confused trying to speak a sentence. They can show these symptoms before they even realize they are having trouble.

1. They're not drunk.
2. They can't walk without staggering or at all.
3. They can't talk understandably

Call 911.
