Health - Recognizing a stroke!

Maybe you are in perfect Health to bother about this. But then,
you may have an opportunity to save a family member, friend or
stranger.

During a outdoor dinner at a seaside resort near Chennai, a friend
stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine
and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her
cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit
shaken up, Lakshmi (name changed) went about enjoying herself the rest
of
the evening.

Her husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken
to
the hospital - (at 6:00 pm, Lakshmi passed away). She had suffered a
stroke at the dinner- had they known how to identify the signs of a
stroke perhaps Lakshmi would be alive today.

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 getting to the
patient within 3 hours which is tough. There is nothing more life saving
than getting the patient to the hospital in the FIRST ONE HOUR! The
Golden
Hour it is now known as to Doctors and emergency attendents alike!

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are 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:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.

2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It
is sunny out today).

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call emergency
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 the three questions. Widespread use of this test
could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent
brain damage.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10
people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
