STROKE: Remember the 1st three letters…
February 01, 2006
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a barbecue at the home of friends, a
lady stumbled and took a little fall1
– she
assured everyone that she was fine and had
just2
tripped over a brick because of3
her
new shoes. Her friends got her4
cleaned up
and got her a new plate of food – while she
appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about
enjoying herself5
the rest of the afternoon.
Later in the day, after she had gone home,
Ingrid's husband called her friends informing
them that his6 wife had been taken to the
hospital. At 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away -- It
was discovered that she had suffered a
stroke during lunch. Had they7
known how
to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps she
would be with us today.
However, many people who suffer strokes don't die. They8
end up in a helpless, hopeless condition
instead. It only takes a minute to read this and save somebody9
’s life.
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! He10 said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and
then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Just remember the first three letters of the word STRoke. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells
disaster. The stroke victim may11 suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize
the symptoms of a stroke.
Doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual12 to SMILE.
T *Ask the person13 to TALK, to SAY A SIMPLE SENTENCE, Coherently (i.e... It is sunny today).
R *Ask him14 or her15 to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another way to recognize a stroke is by asking the person to stick his or her tongue out
straight... 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 one16 of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
