Hello everyone onlist,

 

This is TOTALLY off topic, but important and quick.

 

Cerebral Infarction or Stroke is a major cause of

disability and the 3rd most common cause of death

after heart disease and cancer.

 

When it happens, it often looks like one tripped over

something or just got a little dizzy.

 

But treatment within the first 3 HOURS of an attack is

crucial. The affects can be minimized or removed

completely if treated within that time.

 

There are 3 simple tasks you as an average person can

request from the possible victim to be sure if they

need emergency treatment:

 

1. Ask the person to smile.

2. Ask the person to raise both their arms above their

head.

3. Ask the person to speak a simple sentence like,

"today is a sunny day".

 

If they have difficulty with any ONE of these, call

emergency services immediately and describe the

symptoms.

 

Let's say that your friend, neighbor or total stranger

really did just trip. You didn't ask them to do

anything embarrassing or silly. You're just concerned

and you could save their life or save them from a life

long disability.

 

Okay.

 

Off topic interuption is now over. Your computer

screen shall return to it's normal programming!

 

:-)
