Susie is recuperating at an incredible pace for someone with a massive
stroke, all because Sherry saw Susie stumble (that is the key that
isn't mentioned below) and then she asked Susie 3 questions.
So simple. This literally saved Susie's life. Read and Learn!SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO KNOW, IS IT A STROKE?
Sometimes, symptoms of a stroke is difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer 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:
- Ask the individual to SMILE.
- Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
- Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify
facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged
the general public to learn these three questions. They presented their
conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting.
Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment
of stroke victims and prevent brain damage.
