Valuable Info About Strokes
------ 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.
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 (Coherently) (i.e. . It is
sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call
9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
