Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

 

 

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three letters....S.T.R.

 

 

STROKE IDENTIFICATION

 

It only takes a minute to read this....

 

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.

 

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

 

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 emergency

number 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.
