> STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
> During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone
> that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) 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, Ingrid went about enjoying
> herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling
> everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid
> passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to
> identify the signs of a stroke, perha ps Ingrid would be with us today. Some
> don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

> A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can

> RECOGNIZING A STROKE
> Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the
> lack of awareness spells disaster. 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 to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE(Coherently) (i.e. It is
> sunny out today)
> R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
>
>
> NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their
> tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other
> that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with
> ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the
> symptoms to the dispatcher.

> 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.
