Blood \u00a0Clots\/Stroke – They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, \u00a0the Tongue.<\/p>\n
STROKE: \u00a0Remember The 1st Three Letters…. \u00a0S.T.R.
\nA \u00a0neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim \u00a0within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a \u00a0stroke…\u00a0 totally . He said the trick was getting a \u00a0stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient \u00a0medically cared for within 3 hours, which is \u00a0tough.<\/p>\n
RECOGNIZING \u00a0A STROKE
\nThank God for the sense to remember the ‘3’ \u00a0steps, STR . Read and Learn!
\nSometimes symptoms of a \u00a0stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the \u00a0lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim \u00a0may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to \u00a0recognize the symptoms of a \u00a0stroke.<\/p>\n
Now \u00a0doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking \u00a0three simple questions:<\/p>\n
S \u00a0* \u00a0Ask the individual to SMILE.
\nT \u00a0* \u00a0Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE \u00a0(Coherently)
\n& nb \u00a0sp; \u00a0(i.e. It is sunny out \u00a0today)
\nR \u00a0* \u00a0Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH \u00a0ARMS.
\nIf \u00a0he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call \u00a0999\/911 immediately and describe the symptoms
\nto the \u00a0dispatcher.<\/p>\n
New \u00a0Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your \u00a0Tongue
\nNOTE: \u00a0Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to \u00a0‘stick’ out his tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it \u00a0goes to one side or the other \u00a0, \u00a0that is also an indication of a stroke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
